Maybe try stopping JACK, starting it and then starting Audacity again. > The project sample rate is set to 48000, which jackd is running > at... I've been using 44100 for all my tests - maybe that's the problem. I also built portaudio v19 before building Audacity; that may make a difference. From the audacity source directory created in the cvs checkout, it's just: cd lib-src/portaudio-v19 ./configure make make install then build Audacity as described. Please report your experience on the audacity-devel list and hopefully it can be sorted out. http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/audacity-devel Cheers Daniel
