Hello everybody, first post, first thread regarding questionning relative to this interface.
I bought an Audient 14 MK2, it's serial date it from june 2022, and I'm facing interrogation regarding voltage consumption, and usb information I can get on Windows 10 regarding voltage/current consumption.
First of all, here's the bus power requirement as taken from audient site :
My whole interest in the card is driving 600ohms headphone, so I need the 1.5A, which I can provide having a USBC and USBA 3.2 gen 2 interface on my motherboard.
Lately, I've been formating and doing geeky stuff on my PC, when I had interrogation.
First of all, in my window's device manager I noticed that the Audient is registered under the Audient USB 2.0 Audio Devices, as you can see above.
My main problem with that, is that a usb 2.0 port is theorically limited to 480mbps/500ma, I know that it's not always the rules, since my Xiaomi 11T pro reload with a 120W power brick in usb, having an intensity way above the 500Ma.
But in conjonction to this, I'm looking for electric consumption of my usb devices, and I had this occuring :
As far as I know, OS/Usbdeview only guess electric consumption based on usb protocol, and as far as it can guess, if it sees a 2.0 device, it'll think it draws 500ma.
A redditer on this thread had the same problem, with the id4.
But, i'm still not conviced with the threads answers, since I tested the interface with 3 generation of port (2.0, 3.0, 3.2 gen 2) going from 500ma to 1,5ma capability in theory, and I had no change in the headphone output volume while it's supposed to be drive at substantialy different power for both option as tested by Julian Krause :
So my question is :
I am paranoid and the interface manage to draw it's consumption even from the 2.0 despicte what's stated by audient regarding 2.0/3.0 port ?
Is that a misinformation from both MacOS and Windows (As stated by audient, in the reddit thread ?)
Is there anyway to test in realtime electric consumption from my interface/usb port ?

First of all, here's the bus power requirement as taken from audient site :
USB-C High Speed:
| BUS POWER: | ||
| MIN REQUIREMENT: | 0.9A @ 5V | >=USB 3.0 Port |
| MAX REQUIREMENT: | 1.5A @ 5V | USB-C: Provides higher headphone outputs levels |
| No. of INPUT CHANNELS: | 2 (2 Analogue) | |
| No. of OUTPUT CHANNELS: | 2 (2 Analogue) |
