[Bug 337] Re: Can't find sound devices

[Freddy Martinez]

This is probably due to other apps using your sound system.Close your
programs that use sound, like amarok and try again.

+ Upon launching audacity, the following message appears in a dialog box:
 "There was an error initializing the audio i/o layer. You will not be able
to play or record audio.
 Error: Host error"
