Hi Chuckk, See the thread from Friday called "Naming multiple alsa sound cards (was Re: synthetic sound generator with api)" which has some clues on that. > > Also, now, when I start Audacity, it tells me "there was an error > initializing the audio I/O layer.....Error: Host error."

This link has instructions for building it specially to do so: http://www.nabble.com/Re:-Audacity-will-not-work-if-JACK-is-running.-p3229677.html but it's not the "Debian way". In the meantime, Rezound (similar style to Audacity) or Ardour-gtk (fancy multi-tracker) are both jack-aware audio editors, as is the deceptively simple-looking Snd-gtk package.
