Install and configure file auditing on Debian:
https://www.daemon.be/maarten/auditd.html
Auditing can help you find anything trying to write to your sound device.
Look at these manpages:
auditd.conf (5)
audit.rules (7)
audispd (8)
ausearch (8)
aureport (8)
auditctl (8)
augenrules (8)
To find your sound cards and/or devices:
https://wiki.debian.org/Sound
https://wiki.debian.org/SoundCard
https://wiki.debian.org/PulseAudio
I don't have a Debian system to play with, but in the (good|bad) old
days, we had a /devices directory with all sorts of weirdness inside.
If you have one of those, try
find /devices -print | grep sound
That might point you to an actual device name.
