I get the same results as you got. So it is proven, that my system is in good condition and everything is well configured. This is an important point for my search! And no, this system is pure Debian (except that is been upgraded since many many years. I believe, the first installation was 2010 or so). Debian is so stable and reliable, so I did not need change much. Of course packages are uninstalled during that long time and things also changed (like alsa, then pulseaudio and now wireplumber / pipewire for example). And as a carefull user, I purged old configurations (using aptitude purge ~c) So, this is just clean Debian 12 stable. Hope, the vendor of the application will also have some hints. Fine is, I am now sure and it is proven, my system is set correctly. This is an important point for me. Thanks for the feedback.
