One of the most prevalent chipsets / chips used in USB Audio Devices: CM6206-LX

Handy Utility (not tested): https://github.com/vestom/cm6206ctl?tab=readme-ov-file

Chip Information:

Models / "Manufacturers" (AKA Resellers):

* Vantec (NBA-200U) and Logilink (UA0099) are the same device.

* Startech (ICUSBAUDIO7D) and DLock (61803) are the same device

* ...there's also a model sold on AliExpress, Amazon, etc. that has some of the outputs wired up in a strange way (IE, normally the 5.1 and 7.1 surround is grouped together such that the 5.1 jacks are all in a row, and the Side Left and Side Right are the furthest jack to the right, but not this device where Center / Subwoofer is the furthest jack to the right): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07VSHCGWD/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 (keep in mind ~ $25 on Amazon, but $10 on AliExpress), also this one will not work with C-Media Drivers (latest for the CM2606 is around 2014) and only seems to work with the Microsoft "Universal" Drivers circa 2023. Linux? Buckle up!

* The smallest 5.1 (6 Channel) found: https://www.amazon.com/Premium-6-Channel-Surround-Adapter-Optical/dp/B0CTGZ28G6 (keep in mind it's $20 on Amazon and $3 on Ali Express)
