As someone above me said. Removing the package jackd solves the problem. I see that I need that package for LiVES (which never worked quite as expected for me) and for Ardour, which I don't use but for what I see in its homepage is so much more professional than what Audacity is.
I hope this situation to be updated. This kind of things usually stay the same through the life cycle of the distro, one of the things that Ubuntu has to improve... -- [Hardy] audacity fails to playback a sound file due to no device https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/202791 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
