I can't offer specific advice, but I've noted, from painful experience,
that getting all the knobs and buttons in the various sound tools set
just right so you can get input to Audacity is easier said than done.
for example, when tryhing to get Skype for linux working 2 or 3 years
(i.e., it wouldn 't recognize my USB headset) ago I spent a lot of time
finding the right settings for pavucontrol as well as the Mate sound
tool (don' t use Gnome) as well as alsamixer.
I found some articles at the audacity site that told how to configure it
for specific kinds of recording that helped me immensely.
