In order to get the "ALSA: pulse" device as mentioned above, David Henningsson has built fixed packages they can be installed by adding his PPA as described in.

(If there is no "ALSA: pulse", try "ALSA: default".) Now audacity records and plays back via PulseAudio, and with this you can also use PulseAudio's features (such as e g recording monitoring streams). You have to make sure they don't both grab the sound device at the same time.įor Ubuntu 9.04 and above, there is an "ALSA: pulse" device listed in Audacity's preferences dialog. Ubuntu 8.04 and above install PulseAudio as the default sound server. Once installed, click Applications -> Sound & Video -> Audacity to start Audacity.
