I build an empty dummy package for pulseaudio, the other packages shouldn't cause issues. [rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ pacman -Q libao libpulse lib32-libpulse pulseaudio-alsa audacity libao 1.2.0-1 libpulse 5.0-1 error: package 'lib32-libpulse' was not found pulseaudio-alsa 2-3 audacity 2.0.6-1 [rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ pacman -Qi pulseaudio Name : pulseaudio Version : 2013.08.18-1 Description : Dummy package Architecture : any URL : None Licenses : None Groups : None Provides : pulseaudio Depends On : None Optional Deps : None Required By : pulseaudio-alsa Optional For : fluidsynth phonon-qt4 speech-dispatcher Conflicts With : dummy Replaces : None Installed Size : 4.00 KiB Packager : Unknown Packager Build Date : Sun 18 Aug 2013 06:06:40 PM CEST Install Date : Wed 30 Oct 2013 01:09:38 AM CET Install Reason : Explicitly installed Install Script : No Validated By : None For my cards I ensured that they always have the same order after startup: $ cat /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf # ALSA module ordering options snd slots=snd_hdspm,snd_ice1712,snd_ice1712 Did you reboot after removing pulseaudio and setting up ALSA? Did you select ALSA by Audacities preferences?
