I use my analog outputs for headphones and my optical digital out for speakers via my Panasonic XR55. Is there any way to get a seperate mixer strip for both outputs or something? I want to be able to EQ each output differently, can this be done in any way?

I don't know if this will work to your liking, but you could try having your output strips (WAV and ASIO) send to both Aux buses.

For Aux 1: Put an equalizer in the first effect box and have it send it to the analog out (PCI Card Out1/2)

For Aux 2: Same as above, but send to your digital out (PCI Card . S/PDIF L/R).

You can see the settings as described by dreamnid on the screenshot below
Just in case you or someone else is confused with patchmix in future

Thanks for the screen-shot :) Hopefully it will clarify what I was talking about.

The only thing I'm not sure about is that I think you should set the return of both Auxes to negative infinity as I think the return will amplify the signal going to the main mix.

Any thoughts on this?

Thanks for the suggestion! I did something similar. I found for the aux buses to work, your desired mixer strips actually have to be sending to the aux buses, by default they are -132, I found -15 to be a sufficient level. Then I stuck my EQs and sends in the aux bus strips, works great.

I don't think the return matters much since I'm doing a send/return. I also notice no change in sound when adjusting the return strips. Also, the main mixer doesn't have affect on either output anymore.
