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
