I had Audacity working just fine in my system:
Linux puce 2.6.22-15-rt #1 SMP PREEMPT RT Wed Aug 20 20:39:06 UTC
2008 i686 GNU/Linux
until I installed something that wanted Jack. Then I got the dreaded:
"Error while opening sound device. Please check the output device
settings and the project sample rate."
message. Mind you Audacity was working up to this point, but the update
messeger said that I had to update
jackd (despite the fact that I had completely (I thought) uninstalled it
together with any config files and
didn't want it). As soon as I did the update, Audacity stopped working with
the above dreaded message.
I cannot find any running programs (I did nothing at all after installing
the update - just tried to run Audacity
again)
that might interfere.
Using synaptic, I then marked jackd for complete removal. It does it. I
immediately start Audacity. It now works,
but THE $#!%%#@! Update manager is back with the cute little orange icon
telling me that jackd needs to
be updated! WHY? I have deinstalled it. It is supposed to be gone,
vanished, non-alive (like the parrot).
Why do I have to update a non-installed program? How do I turn off the
notification without losing the
other update notifications?
Round and round and round ....

I had a problem similar to this (if not even exactly the same). I had
problems with Audacity. Either there was no sound or I got an error message,
exactly like yours (but in Swedish). Finally I got tired of the whole thing
so I installed Ubuntu 8.04 from scratch and loaded my backup back (my
personal files and some settings). Now Audacity worked perfectly, until
yesterday when I installed jackd. First I didn't see the connection, but
after a while I came to the conclusion that I should uninstall jackd to see
what happens. I did that and now Audacity worked agan!
I am planning to install Ardour and as far as I know I have to install Jack
for that, so I am not really sure how to solve this problem. Is it possible
to have Ardour and Audacity installed and working at the same time? I would
be interested to know how.
