Something much more limited and specific: I am saying that the
description provided by Fons of the behavior of that specific model of low
cost mixer is consistent with a "pin 1 problem" design flaw, although that
is a bit of a misnomer with a USB connector. "Pin 1 problem" is much
easier to say than "reference conductor common mode impedance noise
coupling" though. Possibly only affecting the headphone output, Fons
never mentioned whether he also checked the main or monitor outputs.
The strange thing is that this high level hum appeared on the HP
output, with the main stereo out selected as the source and the
main and all other faders completely down. So this hum did not
originate at any input - it was there on an internal signal even
with all inputs muted.
