I will give it a week until I send back to Amazon so perhaps something will appear then. (Miraculously!)
I think the chance that it will miraculously start working is small, but the chance that it'll work when you update your kernel to a version with that patch is pretty big .
If you can share what distro you're on I'm happy to help figure out whether there's a suitable version available for you (but I also understand if you'd rather switch to a more out-of-the-box solution ).

Oh I’m happy to try anything! Weirdly I have to use a 4.15.9-112 low latency kernel (thanks to lad’s help!) as the normal updated one was giving me JACK errors. Perhaps this rode situation will also fix this!
My current kernels are:
5.4.0-42
5.3.0-62
4.15.0-112 (low latency)
Sorry, I'm not so familiar with Mint so I wouldn't know how hard it'd be to get a more recent kernel on there... too bad, indeed looks like a pretty device!
Okies. Slowly getting there... (although I do seem to have thrown myself into an out of space loop, I’ll fix that later unless the kernel upgrade has caused it. Had enough space before)
The Rode appears in Pulseaudio config, in and out. Jack now sees it as selectable. Gave me an error and I can’t seem to pick it up in audacity even after rescanning audio devices... edging there though?
Tried Jack, it said driver was in use. Stopped audacity, tried again, ran with millions of errors again... But again closer! (Edit - the same problem we had last time lad)
Edit: After running Jack and having to force close it, Audacity is not picking up the Rode again
Further update - It seems to be working properly apart from our old friend Jack.... So so close...

This happens when the partition which holds the kernels, usually the root partition is low disk space. This happens to me,too. You can uninstall any of the unused/obsolete kernel packages to free up space.
OS: Debian 11 kernel: Liquorix

Since updating to 5.8.1
Just tried Audacity! It works!
That's great! If it's for podcasting, and you don't need to add any effects or other sources, then perhaps just using Audacity with ALSA directly without going through JACK might be an option as well.

I didn't follow your exchange last time, but could it be you only force-closed qjackctl, and jackd is still running in the background? You can see with 'ps aux | grep jack', or I think when you re-open qjackctl it should automatically reconnect to an already-running jackd if it is there.

So I think these are the right pics. The only reason that I am needing Jack is to run into IDJC as that's how I do the radio show - I don't know if there is any other playout software (apart from Rivendell but I don't want to use that really). I have found some free software for the Mac and also for Windows but I would much prefer using IDJC.
