I'm lost here. The headphone jack in the interface is just a monitor. |

I don't think there's any connection with the headphone jack in the |
19 |
motherboard? (I can't test it anyway with my headphones---different |
20 |
jack sizes) |

Mark: please don't bother. To test discord, one needs someone else on |
30 |
"the other side". I tested with the help of co-workers and it didn't |
31 |
work. And the problem lies on the linux side. |
32 |
I'm trying the next step: using zoom. It's what people @work use and |
33 |
they say it works on linux (but I still don't know if it requires |
34 |
pulseaudio :/ ). I've been avoiding it due to its security history, |
35 |
but I think I can work my way around that. |
