I need to generate the sound sequence...

We get stuck when there's no goal in the question. Follow that with: "...so I can scare my cat next Halloween."

I don't know.
Is there a reason you're doing this on the command line instead of letting the GUI do it?
Audacity runs just fine on Linux.

Your old computer may be more tolerant of different volume levels than the new one. What you have now is normal and a very common problem. There are instructional web sites that tell you to plug your stereo equipment into Mic-In. That doesn't work in a majority of cases. Use the old computer, go aro...

Not that I know of. If you require live capture, then you may be a candidate for a stereo USB sound device like a Behringer UCA202. Just loop the input to the output with a short RCA/RCA cable. Listening to that while you record could be a challenge. You may not be able to generate all the sound pat...

Laptop? the 1/4" jack input on my computer. 1/4" jack or the 1/8" jack? I don't think I've ever seen a 1/4" jack on a computer. What does that jack say or what is the icon? Newer Windows laptops do not have a stereo Line-In connection, only a connection for a microphone or a head...
