Hi,

If you use my trick described at http://alsa.opensrc.org/Jack_and_Loopback_device_as_Alsa-to-Jack_bridge

you will have no such problem. You can configure audacity to use ALSA Default instead, and yet have jack under the hood outputting to your speakers, or your inputs recorded in audacity.

If you go that route, read carefully the whole WIKI page, because the ALSA PCM definitions will have to be tailored to your particular setup.

Cheers!
J.

Nothing. That's the default behaviour of Audacity (and afaik of most of
the applications that use PortAudio to talk to JACK).

Best,
