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'm lost here. The headphone jack in the interface is just a monitor. I don't think there's any connection with the headphone jack in the motherboard?

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. Mark: please don't bother. To test discord, one needs someone else on "the other side". I tested with the help of co-workers and it didn't work. And the problem lies on the linux side. I'm trying the next step: using zoom. It's what people @work use and they say it works on linux (but I still don't know if it requires pulseaudio :/ ). I've been avoiding it due to its security history, but I think I can work my way around that. > Thanks Jorge
