Hi Peter, Sorry for the problems. Please provide info about your setup such as desktop environment and how you set up your sound system. ALSA? pulseaudio? Something else? I have a new machine in which I have not yet used a previously working USB sound device - a gen 3 Focusrite Scarlett 2/2. I'm happy to invest a little time to bring it up sooner vs later if there's a way to help. Cheers, Mark
