heres the trick

turn monitors down to 25%

turn input trim on channel all the way up in system settings.

turn gain until its in the red but not banging red bright..

turn master all the way up full!

set booth how you want

this mixer runs hot, so this way you dont hear that digital noise hiss...

its actually a very loud mixer and if you run it like this the vu meters work better, and the sound has no audible hiss..

it actually plays really loud as well on speakers, so at 25% its still pretty loud...

this works for me in the meantime, well see what they will do with a mod...

but this is really the best and viable solution

im pretty satisfied actually

Not a good fix if you are playing several music venues and they are not expecting or willing to change their sound systems.

but still there is a hiss sound when you turn it on.
and how do you do when you only use the firewire.
if the guys at korg are good. the would fix it.
Korg doesn´t care about their rep. Have anyone talked to computer music or any other music mags. fix i made a semi pro product i would keep a good service, but thats just me
