No Sound in Audacity

[pepebuho]

Hi.
I installed audacity-freeworld from the rpmfusion repository version 2.2.2 and I cannot get sound either through normal headphones nor bluetooth headphones. I get the same problem if I install audacity from the fedora repositories (although their version is 2.1.3

VLC, Chrome, Mozilla, all of them can playback sound without problems.

But Audacity does not seem to find the device to playback sound.
If I go to preferences, It only gives me the HDA Nivida options

I can't see the HDA Intel device

How can I troubleshoot this? How can I get Audacity to playback sound through the headphones?

Which Linux distro are you using?
Does it not have PulseAudio, or have you removed PulseAudio?
