Ok, I've been running into this. Even my other hint didn't work: http://community.cnr.com/thread/1159.

Not sure why it happens, but I found this post in my googling: http://www.debianhelp.org/node/8734#comment-31597

I went to Launch >>> Settings >>> Control Center

Then goto Sound & Multimedia >>> Sound System

Uncheck Enable the Sound System.

That made my proper sound card show in the Audacity preferences.

Good luck and let us know how it worked out.

Hi, Ken:

I just reinstalled 6.0.17 after trying out Mandriva for a spell.

Yes, I'm having that problem. Also, it takes several seconds for the program to load, twenty to twenty-three seconds. Further, it gives me only one playback choice, OSS: /dev/dsp in Preferences>Audio I/O

I tried unchecking the sound system as noted in this thread. It didn't work. It still locks up.

I'm now going to look thorugh the rest of this thread to see if I missed anything. Who? Me?
