Hi,
I did add myself to the audio group, though I will try the same command
again (I think I used my actual username, instead of $USER)
It appears I did not answer yes, though I honestly don't remember being
prompted this time. I will try renaming that and see if that fixes my
issue.
I did install the low latency kernel already, for those reasons.
I will let you know how this goes!!
I appreciate your help very much thank you!
