I had Audacity working just fine in my system:<br>
Linux puce 2.6.22-15-rt #1 SMP PREEMPT RT Wed Aug 20 20:39:06 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux<br>
until I installed something that wanted Jack. Then I got the dreaded:<br>
"Error while opening sound device. Please check the output device settings and the project sample rate."<br>
message. Mind you Audacity was working up to this point, but the update messeger said that I had to update<br>
jackd (despite the fact that I had completely (I thought) uninstalled it together with any config files and<br>
didn't want it). As soon as I did the update, Audacity stopped working with the above dreaded message.<br>
I cannot find any running programs (I did nothing at all after installing the update - just tried to run Audacity<br>
again)<br>
that might interfere.<br>
<br>
Using synaptic, I then marked jackd for complete removal. It does it. I immediately start Audacity. It now works,<br>
but THE $#!%%#@! Update manager is back with the cute little orange icon telling me that jackd needs to<br>
be updated! WHY? I have deinstalled it. It is supposed to be gone, vanished, non-alive (like the parrot).<br>
Why do I have to update a non-installed program? How do I turn off the notification without losing the<br>
other update notifications?<br>
<br>
Round and round and round ....<br>

Either there was no sound or I got an error message, exactly like yours (but in Swedish). Finally I got tired of the whole thing so I installed Ubuntu 8.04 from scratch and loaded my backup back (my personal files and some settings). Now Audacity worked perfectly, until yesterday when I installed jackd. First I didn't see the connection, but after a while I came to the conclusion that I should uninstall jackd to see what happens. I did that and now Audacity worked agan!</div>
<div>I am planning to install Ardour and as far as I know I have to install Jack for that, so I am not really sure how to solve this problem. Is it possible to have Ardour and Audacity installed and working at the same time? I would be interested to know how.</div>
