This is probably related to #303, which we are investigating

(Also perhaps related to #226 )

OMG. Permission rights for audio-record fixed it on Kubuntu 24.10 for snap Steam+game in library and USB mic. Thanks for a tip.
It's hidden all the way down in Discover. I have NEVER seen this settings. I just discovered it now. :-)
