Just one more data point: I have had terrible difficulties figuring
out on my own how to configure Audacity to record from certain devices,
given that there are too many audio control programs on the system 
(pulse, alsa, the Mate sound tool) and too many devices from which 
one may wish to get input, and Audacity may not show the device
by a name that you think you know.

For my purposes, I managed to solve it by reading some of the tutorials
on the Audacity Wiki about how to I record from this device, or from
that one. 

If you  haven't gone there yet, I'd urge you to try it. And if that
doesn't help, ask some questions on the Audacity forums. I got lots
of help from those places.
