Q: not sure how to do this but the suggestions for fixing this Mixer Toolbar Issues in Linux are insanely complicated. all I want is my input selector to work under Ubuntu since I switched from Windows XP. is there no understandable fix?

Gale 31Dec09: If you want technical support you need to ask on the Forum which is properly set up for questions and answers. It's near impossible for anyone to comment without any idea what version of Audacity or Ubuntu you are using, and in what way the input selector does not "work". Is it visible, but just does not select the inputs?

A lot was done for Audacity 1.3.8 to make the input selector work better under Linux. If you are not already doing so, get the current Ubuntu 9.10 that comes with their Audacity 1.3.9 package. Set "Host" in Devices Preferences to ALSA then try different recording devices, starting with pulse, then default. And don't forget you can choose inputs in ALSAmixer.
