That Pulse Output Devices tab shows: Built-in audio device analog stereo, port is Line Out (plugged in) - that should be my mobo sound USB sound card is plugged in, and here's what's in "Help > Audio Device Info." Again, you don't have an (hw: 0,x) analogue playback device listed there. If you did ...

OK, so it's just a playback rate problem. What is set as the "playback device" in the device toolbar and what other options are there? Playback has 7 options: 4 of them refer to HDA Nvidia (vid card sound) which run at apparently correct speed, but don't result in sound coming through. 1 of them is...

Changed to: Exec=env UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=0 PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=30 audacity %F With the change, playback doesn't run at 5x, it just quickly stops dead. "30" isn't prescriptive. You could perhaps try a slightly higher number than 30. Gale I tried several numbers, higher and lower from "30", and I tried c...

Good to know, but then why does Default show up as an option in the Audacity playback menu along w/ Pulse? Let me rephrase my comment: On a standard Ubuntu installation, the default playback device is PulseAudio. On other systems it may be different. Where does it feed sound to? Where does the soun...

1 of them is Pulse, which plays at 5x, and does feed sound. >Where does it feed sound to? Where does the sound come out?< Well, it comes out of my speakers. If it wasn't running at 5x, I assume it would sound fine. 1 of them is Default, which plays at 5x, and does feed sound <"Pulse" is the default...

Kind of high pitch, but not a screech sound. If the recorded material is exported and played on VLC, it plays as a normal recording.

I'm using audacity 2.1.2 with Ubuntu 15.10. I installed Audacity from a ppa, today. It records streaming audio properly but the playback is about 5X the proper speed. I had the same problem with the prior version of audacity in Software Center, so I updated to this 2.1.2 version. Oddly, the prior ve...
