@David Runge: Many thanks for your reply. Kernel log messages include no errors in v5.10.16. On the other hand there are no muted output channels in alsamixer. Also, the correct device is selected. The output of 'aplay -l' is identical in both kernel versions. To playback files, aplay and audacity where used. JACK is started either with the default device ('jackd -d alsa'), or by selecting hw:0 ('jackd -d alsa -d hw:0') but with no success.
