Open audacity and look in the Preferences->Audio I/O and see which device
Audacity is using. In my Audacity it defaults to OSS:/dev/dsp in which case
I have to manually load the snd_pcm-oss module (using modprobe).
Alternatively you can click on the arrows to the right of the device drop
down menu and it may give you a choice to use your alsa device rather than
oss. Either move should sort out the sound problems.
Cheers,
Jonathan
