I have installed Linux Mint 19.2 Tina.
I have also installed audacity 2.2.1-1 from MINTs “Programhanterare”.
Sa long everything is OK.
But I have a problem when I recording from tex a Cd or Spotyfy.Nothing happend.
I never hade a problem like this with the other versions.
The problem is (I think) the Device Toolbar. It does not matter what option I use.
For th Mic I have following options: 1-HD Audio Generic:Analog (hw 2.0)
2-HD Audio Generic: Al Analog (hw 2.2)
3-pulse
4-default
For the speaker i have followiung option: 1-HDA NVidia: HDMI 0 (hw:0,3)
2-HDA NVidia: HDMI 1 (hw:0,7)
3-HDA NVidia: HDMI 2 (hw:0,8)
4-HD Audio Generic:Analog (hw 2.0)
5-HD Audio Generic:Digital(hw 2.1)
6-hdmi
7-pulse
8-default
It does not matter wich optin I use-I have no signal. BUT when I connect my MIC I can talk or sing -It funktioned very well-but I can not record the music from Spotify or an other sorce.
I hoppe I explained it so you can understand it
Thanks for helping

The usual way to record audio that is playing on the computer in Linux, is to use PulseAudio. See: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/tutorial_recording_computer_playback_on_linux.html
