Just to clarify: I tried installing pipewire to see if it makes any difference. Pipewire is installed but according to ps aux, it's not running. So a dead end there. If I can do it without pulse or pipewire, I will by default. The current situation is however that kmix won't allow me to choose the rubix usb audio (because it isn't listed there). Mixxx on the other hand DOES use the rubix usb card/box, just like alsamixer is able to see the rubix while kmix does not. As suggested by E. Liddell, it's possible the Nvidia hdmi audio is acting up, however I've only had such problems on MS Win systems, not on linux so far. If installing pulse could solve this problem, I could try that. The fact is that the linux mint systems that work without problems with this rubix usb box also use pulse.
