"Works for me" is not very helpful most of the time, but given the other jitsi comment about forever unresolved issues - I feel compelled to speak.
Bunch of us are meeting weekly on meet.jit.si for 2+ months - it works great for all of us, using Google chrome, chromium and Firefox running on Ubuntu, openSuse, macOS, chromeOS and Android. All Linux usage is pulseAudio configured through pavucontrol - that is how we resolved initial setup issues amongst us. In terms of HW, we use various no name cheap (some over the ear) wired headsets and/or internal laptop microphone + headphones to prevent feedback loop. So far meet.jit.si has been great for us. It needs Intel core CPU or better and full battery on Android. Intel atom CPU was not enough to work properly. Hope it helps, Tomas BTW: A) Your left ear headset problems would indicate that you are using wrong audio jack or adapter. B) your USB audio probably needs to be set as default/fallback in pavucontrol: both input and output devices and left connected. C) It would make sense to commit to particular setup, at least initially, and leave the headset connected all the time to keep things stable. Especially in case with multiple different audio sources/sinks. D) nothing against slackware - seriously - get vanilla Ubuntu installed on one of the spare devices to gain experience with well supported mainstream distro first. It will calibrate your expectations of what can work and how.
