I recompiled the kernel with more stuff as module, but I just had an idea to make sure the Behringer is the only card in the game: I disabled HD audio in the firmware settings. So: both Opera and Chrome play Youtube. aplay plays music files just fine, as it did before. Audacious also works (it requires modifying the former settings; that's probably what was missing before). So, I would say everything works, except stuff like discord. To my shame, I didn't check the logs with enough attention: it says: [000:000] [5256] (audio_device_pulse_linux.cc:1547): failed to load symbol table [000:000] [5256] (audio_device_pulse_linux.cc:145): failed to initialize PulseAudio [000:000] [5256] (audio_device_impl.cc:377): Audio device initialization failed. (To my defence: the ebuild does't try to pull pulseaudio; one would assume that it would be a dependency) Hence: no mystery at all, just the usual with linux nowadays. I'll keep searching for some audio chat package that works. mumble seems promising, but it requires an available server. zoom (which most people @work use) doesn't emerge. slack does emerge and vomits a totally unresponsive window (well, not *totally* unresponsive: Ctrl+Q works :)) Since you use pulseaudio (per your latest post): can you send the contents of a wav file to an external DAC via toslink, without pulseaudio messing with the file? (Most people don't seem to care whether the signal is first converted to analog, and resampled, and converted to digital, and whatnot, before leaving the computer...) I appreciate the enormous amount of effort you put on this. Thanks Jorge
