        "content": "Yes \u2014 the Zoom PodTrak P4next *does* have a **Mix-Minus** function over its USB audio interface. This feature is explicitly supported, and is designed to prevent remote participants (via USB, smartphone, or computer) from hearing their own voice echoed back. Here are the key details:\n\n---\n\n## \ud83c\udfa7 What Exactly is USB Mix-Minus on the P4next?\n\n- When the P4next is connected to a computer, tablet, or smartphone via USB-C and used as an audio interface, playback signals from the connected device can be sent back to it (normally). With **USB Mix-Minus**, you can **disable** this return so that whatever the remote guest is sending *does not* come back to them, avoiding echo or feedback. ([zoomcorp.com](https://zoomcorp.com/manuals/p4next-en/?utm_source=openai))  \n- The manual explains that by enabling \u201cMix Minus\u201d in the USB Audio Interface menu, the unit stops sending the USB input back out over USB. Meaning the remote guest doesn\u2019t hear their own audio. ([zoomcorp.com](https://zoomcorp.com/manuals/p4next-en/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## \ud83d\udd27 Where & How to Enable It\n\n1. Use a USB-C cable to connect the P4next to your computer, tablet, or smartphone. ([zoomcorp.com](https://zoomcorp.com/manuals/p4next-en/?utm_source=openai))  \n2. Navigate through the MENU to **USB Audio Interface**. ([zoomcorp.com](https://zoomcorp.com/manuals/p4next-de/?utm_source=openai))  \n3. In that section, find the **Mix-Minus** option. You can toggle it **OFF** or **ON**.  \n   - **Off**: USB input audio (e.g. remote guest) is sent back to that device \u2014 i.e. they would hear themselves.  \n   - **On**: USB input is *not* sent back \u2014 avoiding echo. ([zoomcorp.com](https://zoomcorp.com/manuals/p4next-en/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## \u2699\ufe0f Additional Relevant Info\n\n- The P4next supports both **Stereo Mix** mode and **Multi-Track** mode over USB. In Stereo Mix you get a mixed stereo output; in Multi-Track you can send individual inputs (mics, pads, smartphone input, etc.) separately. ([zoomcorp.com](https://zoomcorp.com/manuals/p4next-es/?utm_source=openai))  \n- The Mix-Minus setting works alongside these modes \u2014 it\u2019s about whether the USB input is included in the return over USB. So you could have Multi-Track enabled and still use Mix-Minus. ([zoomcorp.com](https://zoomcorp.com/manuals/p4next-en/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\nIf you want, I can walk you through enabling this step-by-step on your specific OS (Windows / Mac / iOS / Android) so you can test it in your setup."
