Framework 13 7840U
I have a Røde NT-USB mini, and so far, I’ve not been able to get it fully working with my Framework 13 with the 7840U. As well as being a microphone, the NT-USB mini has a headphone jack (and thus, a sound card which enables output). I can successfully select it as output and input device, but when doing so, at some point, it the application using as it will completely freeze and in my journal, I can see that the connection to the microphone has been lost. See the log output here:

(Verbinding is verlopen is Dutch for timeout)
This does apparently only happen when using the microphone both as input and output device. When I only use it as input device, I don’t have any problems.
I can rule a hardware defect of my laptop out since I tested the microphone with another Framework 13 7840U running Fedora; it was affected by the same problem. Moreover, I tested the microphone with another non-Framework Intel-based laptop running Fedora as well, and the microphone worked just fine, including when being used as input and output device simultaneously. I know some other people with various types of other Frameworks whom I could ask for testing purposes, in case that might be interesting.
So far, I have not tested any other Linux distribution, or Windows, for that matter.
Does anyone have any idea on what I could do to make it work? In case any additional information is needed, I am happy to provide them.
