I discovered a work around that clearly points to pulse audio as the culprit. After the upgrade, any install of Audacity could not find any but the digital drivers regardless of what I did with the config folder.
Step one. kill the pulse audio process. Step two, install Audacity again. Step three, set it for oss on input and output. No problem picking the driver I wished with pulse audio gone. Step four. make a series of test recordings which worked just fine, and so did playback through Audacity. Side effects: No system sounds when I click various things. Totem sound on MP3 playback was weaker and thinner, much poorer fidelity. Reboot system, and of course pulse audio restarted with it, and all sounds normal. I'm not dumb enough to even try to start Audacity with pulse audio running. So the work around is to kill pulse audio first, and when I am finished using Audacity, close it and reboot. I hope this helps you fix the problem with pulse audio. -- Audacity keeps losing analog audio drivers on output https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/224328 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
