I too have the same or similar problem. I click on Edit/Preferences and when I choose Audio I/O then the top left (Audio Playback Device) it is empty with no dropdown menu, however the recording device shows drop- down options.
Playback works with mp3 file double clicked on desktop for example. So must be an internal to Audacity -- Help->Audio Device Info is empty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/223859 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
