[ubuntu-studio-devel] wily werewolf audacity alsa sound distorted

[Grant Frank Burton]

For me none of that works.

It only records and plays in jack. (host Preferences only works in jack and
the mic must be in system)

to record....
if I'm using the line-in and I want to change to the mic or a device, the
level meter don't work. I need to restart the system to change input
devices. the input adjustment don't work so to adjust the input, I need to
use th)e QasMixer default Capture to adjust.)

Headphones

the headphone jack don't output the monitor so when I record with
headphones, I need to plug into the speaker outputs to hear.... that's in
Ardour too.
