As usual after every upgrade Audacity givers problems again.
Debian Stretch
KDE Plasma 5
Audacity 2.1.2
In Audacity I can only select ALSA as output. When playback in Audacity I see "ALSA output" in PulseAudio Volume Control. But I can change the volume only in Alsamixer. And, what is worse, ALSA is stuck to speaker output and I don't see an option to route it to my USB headphone. In PavuControl I cannot select another output but my built-in Speakers.
This worked perfectly well in Jessie where I could route Audacity's output to Pulse and set everything (output device, volume) there. I can't imagine I have to revert to ALSA config files again.

Re: Audacity audio routing problem Debian Stretch
@stevepusser: that is a very usefule site, thanks for the pointer.
However I run in severe dependency problems for version 2.3. Dependent packages are simple not available yet for Debian 9.0. Unless I add some packages from Testing which I cannot do as this is a production system.

Balderdash. My OBS Audacity packages are built on vanilla Stretch and Jessie bases, and need nothing that's not in the standard repositories. Unless you can show me otherwise, again I cry, "poppycock, hokum, and bunk!"

[SOLVED] Audacity audio routing problem Debian Stretch
I solved this problem by deleting ~/.asoundrc. Apparently there was a conflict between Pulse and Alsa. Until the upgrade from Jessie to Stretch is worked fine though.

Re: Audacity audio routing problem Debian Stretch
Glad you got there eventually. I have had issues caused by ~/.asoundrc . As it's not a default file and must be created by user, it is susceptible to unwanted side effects when following well-intentioned advice from the internet.jlinkels wrote:I solved this problem by deleting ~/.asoundrc.
