Well, no matter if Audacity is recording or playing, all I see in qjackctl, [Connect], "Audio" tab is: == == Readable Clients/ == == Output Ports == == - system == == capture_1 == == capture_2 on the right, and then on the left, I see: == == Writable Clients/ == == Input Ports == == - system == == playback_1 == == playback_2 == == playback_3 == == playback_4 == == playback_5 == == playback_6 == == playback_7 == == playback_8 I see don't see a mention of audacity or portaudio. Also, does "system" refer to my M-Audio card or the integrated audio on the motherboard? If system does refer to my M-Audio card, I don't see anything in the under Readable Clients/Output Ports that distinguishes between the s/pdif input and the ADC input. On the other hand, when I run mhWaveEdit, as suggested by Mr. Ovens, I do see the word "mhwe" listed both in the Readable Clients/Output Ports and Writable Clients/Input Ports. At this point, I can continue to work with mhWaveEdit as audacity appears to be problematic. ---- So running mhWaveEdit, I still cannot create any audio files with actual sound, or see mhWaveEdit's VU meters show any volume. So, does "system" in the connect window of qjackctl refer to my M-Audio card?
