Once again, Audacity has decided to not record. I don't know if a recent update caused this problem or not but I had been recording successfully for a couple of months. As of today, no recording capability using versions 1.3.7 and 1.3.9.
I have read and applied a bunch of "Audacity/sound system related fixes" and hacked around with Pulse Audio, Esound, OSS, Alsa, etc. from the ubuntu (and other) forums, all to no avail. I've reinstalled linux-sound-base and the ubuntu-desktop several times. Streaming videos, Internet audio/video, CD's, etc all work fine as does recording with Sound Recorder. I use Audacity quite a lot for recording/editing and, when it works in ubuntu, it's great! When it doesn't work, not so great...
Does someone have a "step-by-step" procedure to unscrew Audacity so that it will record like it used to or to set it up to record without having to hack the jaunty sound system every time it decides to take a hike? (hate to say it, but it has always worked just fine on XP)...
Here's the 411 on my sound card:
