have you bothered with VR? On PopOS i get audio issues with the mic and i have to manually switch the speakers to output to my index and it still gives me feedback. i dual boot as well but i would love to ditch my windows partition.. just need VR working 100%
VR is still the one reason to keep using Windows if you want a better experience. It kind of works on Linux but it lacks a lot of polish as per the example you mentioned.
