RDP into Win11: only with xfreerdp

One hard requirement I have for my at-home machine is VPN into the office and use Remote Desktop to my machine there (with audio and key combos).

I managed to get basic RDP to work (after configuring Kerberos for our domain EDIT: probably not required since it works in kubuntu without), but only with xfreerdp. Any gui application (remmina, krdc) or other command line (xfreerdp3) I cannot get to connect.

I'm not seeing any helpful messages from xfreerdp3 on the command line or in the debug window of remmina.

Please help me to diagnose this? Running the latest CachyOS version/packages (updated this morning).

UPDATE: Still can only get xfreerdp to work. Remote audio works, just the microphone is giving me cramps still. From what I read remmina and krdc use freerdp as their backend, and apparently there is a bug in all 3.x versions preventing authentication with windows NTLM (which is enforced in our domain via group policy...).

I tried to downgrade but there were too many dependencies, and I didn't want to break more than already happened. I COULD live with xfreerdp I guess... ;)
