No, I'm not sure I need OSS. I tried the ALSA devices but they didn't
work either and they gave me an error that OSS didn't give me (Error
while opening sound device. Please check the input device settings and
the project sample rate.). Now that I have Audacity working with OSS
I've gone back and tried the ALSA drivers and they still don't work and
still give the same error message. Is there a trick to setting up
Audacity with ALSA on Kubuntu?
Thanks,
Rick
