Topic: Digi9636

I have a Digi9636. Does anyone know what the controls "Channels Thru' and 'Passthru' are supposed to do? Thanks.

Here is the output from 'amixer contents'

numid=9,iface=MIXER,name='Channels Thru'
  ; type=BOOLEAN,access=rw------,values=18
  : values=off,off,off,off,off,off,off,off,off,off,off,off,off,off,off,off,off,off
numid=14,iface=MIXER,name='Passthru'
  ; type=BOOLEAN,access=rw------,values=1
  : values=off

Here is the output from 'amixer' when the RME is in default status.
