[LAU] clicking noise in all audio programswith new linux user

[Miguel Morales]

I didn't know that audacity worked with jack.  
Have you tried to use the oss drivers instead of the alsa ones.
Should be an option for this if you're using qjackctl.
Do you get constant xruns when running jack?
Perhaps you can post the ouput of jack when you run it and run a sound
application that causes clicking.

Also, make sure you hit reply-to-all when replying to the list.  ^_^
