It’s all about the **outputs** available and my card has more or less the same configuration : from what I see, the UR12 is basically also an USB unit, with a given amount of outputs and a stereo headphones one, the main difference related to outputs being that yours has just two RCA ones.

So, if you are using the _Yamaha Steinberg USB ASIO_ driver (I know its name thanks to [this thread](https://forums.steinberg.net/t/tracks-bleed-through-new-audio-recording/731439)), you should have the four outputs available in the _Device Port_ column of either the _Audio Connection \> Outputs_ pane or _Audio Connection \> Control Room_ one.

You can check also this in the _Studio Setup_ window, _Audio interface \> Yamaha Steinberg USB ASIO_ pane : I guess that you should have all the four outputs of your unit listed as I/O Out ones. If two of them are displayed as inactive, it’s because you haven’t created an added stereo bus for your headphones in the _Control Room_ pane of your _Audio Connections_ window. If the case, in the Control Room pane, right click in the Bus column, choose ‘Add Headphone’ and add your ASIO driver and the corresponding available _Device Port_ items fort it.
