Thanks

When you click on the volume control you can select the type of volume control that is used (system, internal or disabled).

That said there's one bit of news to pass along, I've decided to stop using Ubuntu and Linux in general outside of a virtual machine due to a nasty bug in the Linux kernel's USB driver since 3.18.0 where when XHCI will give off device descriptor errors and cause USB devices to malfunction during the boot and after rebooting back into Windows and Mac - even after disabling XHCI and XHCI hand-off! The issue was supposed to be fixed in 4.0 kernel but it still persists in 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 (it got really bad in 4.3-rc3 for some reason). So yeah, I'll be retiring Ubuntu off the main machine for now and just use Ubuntu virtual machines to test. I've been reporting this issue for nearly 8 months now, but not much has been done about it. I've tried different hardware (keyboard, mouse, USB DAC, motherboard, GPU, RAM, etc.) and it doesn't make a difference. It also happens in a VM too, but it doesn't mess with other OSes so it's pretty straightforward to correct.
Also going to retire the Mac portion off the main machine too and just use Windows for the foreseeable future due to multiple annoying issues trying to get the AMD graphics card to function correctly. I'll probably reinstate the Mac once I can save up and get a Nvidia card. I'll likely reinstate Ubuntu if/when they manage to fix that annoying USB issue.
EDIT: Decided to redo the Mac and Ubuntu installs and keep reporting the Linux XHCI issue.

Appreciate your help for setting up. Ubuntu 16.04 both i386 and amd64 installed without any errors.
Interesting to read that you are turning away from Ubuntu. I have been using Windows 10x64 bit for some time and got tired of it. Lately, it was causing me relentless music skipping issue and high latencies (despite latest Xeon CPU and server motherboard).
So, I pulled an ancient CPU and motherboard from basement. I installed Debian 8.5 Jessie first. I had that USB audio going silent problem every time. It played only a few hours and then USB sound was dead.
I am using Ubuntu 16.04 x64 now and so far no USB audio issue. Maybe Ubuntu engineers fixed that issue, but not the Debian?

Ubuntu 16.04.1 installed and updated. It is hard to say "stable" version of JRiver is 21.0.90. I cannot keep it running longer than a couple of hours. It keeps crashing.
I tried it on Debian 8.5 first. JRiver doesn't crash on Debian but I lose audio to the external USB DAC due to USB audio driver bug.
Anybody has a "stable" running JRiver on Ubuntu? Please advice...

Guys, how can I find out what is crashing JRiver on Ubuntu?
JimH:
You could try playing to a different output to see if the problem is related to USB or not.
