I hope you don't have to. I'm not the least bit confident about how a virtual card is going to work with VM like Virtualbox.
OK, that device is pretty simple. If you set this device as the default Alsa device can you get simple audio, from YouTube for example, out through the headphone jack? We know the mic input works. If both of those work then what does discord do?
I own a similar device (from a functional POV - a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2) which I use on my laptop for simple recording of guitar practice sessions or to record my guitar parts to get added to other musician friend's recordings.
I use line level inputs but I can hook up a mic. If I get some time I might look at installing discord to see if it works at all but I don't know how to test discord itself.
