I agree about the NI Komplete preamps. They're very nice, unlike the first generation Komplete Audio 6, which didn't have enough gain and leaked phantom power even when it was turned off. These preamps are also a little better than the Behringer Midas Designed ones, which are used in the UMC range starting from the 202.

Hi all
Soz to be slow
The Focusrite 2i2 2nd Gen has a mono headphone monitor.

The newer 3rd Gen has stereo headphone monitor and some other improvements, but it requires a button press to turn on Phantom power on restart - so not useful for long term streaming

The Native Instrumerns Komplete Audio 2 has stereo monitoring and possibly better preamps than the Focusrite. 48V bias button stays depressed. Also smaller, lighter and cheaper. I really like it

It does work. Perfectly. I realised I had a 202HD. Swopped them over and it’s all good. Thanks very much for your help Zach and Patrick.

I have both a UMC202 HD and a UMC 204 HD. For streaming purposes, it's pretty well identical, except the 204 HD has two more outputs and inserts on the inputs, plus the mono/stereo switch.

As seen here: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/405283/alsa-get-audio-from-specific-input-to-specific-output-stream-for-monitoring

By the way the Behringer UMC204HD added a mono/stereo switch, and isn't too much bigger/costlier than the UMC202HD.
