Jack lists 8 inputs and 12 outputs. It seems the Inputs 1 to 4 (analog mic/line-ins) are listed as Inpiuts 1 to 4 and 2 SPDIF are 5 and 6. But i am not sure about the 7 and 8.

It's working as you described, but I can't figure out hot to change the input mode for the channels 1-2 from MIC to LINE/instr! >> Anybody have a clue? Just a quick addition. The below describes how to change the line/instrument inputs back and forth. Mic to line is automatic. If you plug into the XLR it is mic mode and into the 1/4inch TRS (or TS) it is line/instrument mode. >> >> A. >> > > see > https://focusritedevelopmentteam.wordpress.com/2012/04/23/linux-and-focusrite-novation-products/#comment-51 > > https://github.com/x42/alsa-driver/tree/s18i6 adds full mixer support for the 18i6.
