A similar issue exists on the Output selection. I don’t understand what I am seeing. How do I get to see the USB card in WSJT-X?

The soundcard you're looking for may appear under a different name.

Try looking in WSJT-X File->Settings->Audio for one that begins
"alsa_input.usb" for the WSJT-X input device, and "alsa_output.usb" for
the WSJT-X output device.
