For testing, I replaced the sound card in my digimode interface with a different type and it seems to work like a charm. Maybe using a USB sound card for like 2 EUR wasn't that good an idea.
@dl4mat Not sure if this is useful but I've been using WSJT-X with a Sabrent USB adapter (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00IRVQ0F8) hung off an unpowered Anker hub (literally dangling in space atm!).
It has been fine for a couple of years (on a Pi) + It uses the bcm2835 driver.
@dl4mat I do wonder how many people have followed a guide that said "it's ok, just get any usb thing off eBay" and then had this issue
