Audacity. To actually be using ALSA directly you have to set it up in Preferences.<br>
<br>
First, make sure that nothing else is using sound, so Pulseaudio won't hold an<br>
exclusive lock on the soundcard. Then in Preferences>Devices you have "host"<br>
which will be ALSA but also "playback" and "recording". It is those two that need<br>
to be set to use the soundcard directly, usually that is the line ending in<br>
(hw: 0,0) . If you only see (hw:0,1) and higher and you cannot get sound from them,<br>
somthing else is playing sound and holding the sound card. There is a PAsuspender<br>
program available somewhere that can shut Pulseaudio down temporarily for<br>
situations like this, but usually it's enough to shut off system sounds in overall<br>
sound configuration and make sure nothing else is playing.<br>
