Hi all,

This is no fun at all....

Armbian on the M2 Berry here:

cat /etc/debian_version

9.9

cat /proc/asound/cards
 0 [Device         ]: USB-Audio - C-Media USB Audio Device
                      C-Media USB Audio Device at usb-1c19000.usb-1.2, full 
speed
 1 [S3             ]: USB-Audio - Sound Blaster Play! 3
                      Creative Technology Ltd Sound Blaster Play! 3 at 
usb-1c19000.usb-1.4, full spee

Though the FreeDV2020 app runs without crashing, I get no audio in from either 
device.

Groups, I'm a member of these:

dialout:x:20:alanb
audio:x:29:alanb
plugdev:x:46:alanb

======================= OK then =============

What Linux systems are people using successfully?

Please, what Linux version and what hardware?
