Something on the system is hogging output to that device.

If you don't want to bother with it you could just select the default (which is the pulse server) and go into DSP studio output format, right-click on on the the same rates and change them all to 48k.

If that doesn't solve your issue, something else is taking control of the pulse server.
On my systems designed for music playback I discard the pulse system so it doesn't get in the way.

rustybutton:
Changing outputs to 48000 didn't make a difference.

My laptop is just as a music player.  I have about 600G of flac files on local SSD, ripped from CD, to be played back through a Peachtree USB DAC, to my 2-channel Old School stereo rig.  The laptop is nothing special.

Should I do:

sudo apt-get -y remove pulseaudio.

Is pulseaudio necessary for music playback?

Awesome Donkey:
It's worth noting that most modern Linux distros have replaced PulseAudio with PipeWire.

That said it's probably a bad idea to mess with that and trying to remove PulseAudio/PipeWire. Very likely you'll end up breaking system audio doing things like that. If all else fails you might need to choose another Linux distro, straight Ubuntu would probably be your best bet. I've never heard of "Linux Lite" but after doing a quick search and reading a little bit about it, it seems like it might be a hassle to deal with. As such based on my very quick search I personally wouldn't recommend it. Keep in mind JRiver doesn't officially support any Linux distros except Debian. Unofficially it'll work as fine on Ubuntu too, since Debian and Ubuntu are closely related.

BTW, in your screenshot above it looks like the first hw: audio output is the right one for your DAC.

rustybutton:
Your recommendation worked.   I thought I had tried it, but I was wrong.  I now have set it to:

hw:CARD=DAC,DEV=0 [ALSA]

My laptop is just an HP that's a few years old, running a current Ubuntu derivative.   I'm sure that I'd have the same issue were I to have installed straight Ubuntu.

Clementine has no problem at all.  No idea why.  Something for you to keep an eye on. 

Much thanks  for the help!
