I've tried a number of ideas without success, tried compiling audacity from source, tried installing an older version (2.0.0-1), tried manually installing the libmad0 package suggested in the comment above, and I still get the same behaviour. Jack server is not running or cannot be started I get the following error appear on the terminal screen for several seconds before it reboots:ĪLSA lib pcm.c:2217:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM ĪLSA lib pcm.c:2217:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM ĪLSA lib pcm.c:2217:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM ĪLSA lib pcm_dmix.c:957: (snd_pcm_dmix_open) The dmix plugin supports only playback streamĪLSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1018:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slaveĬannot connect to server socket err = No such file or directory Do not double-click the Audacity icon in the DMG to launch Audacity from there. Alternatively, drag the Audacity.app icon to any other location of your choosing.

Drag the Audacity.app icon in the DMG window to the /Applications folder icon on the right.

Using crouton to run Ubuntu, I have installed the xfce target for quantal (I tried a number of other targets and releases, but am using this one on the advice in this thread) Installation of Audacity Double-click the downloaded DMG to mount it. I'm running on a Samsung ARM Chromebook (Model XE303C12-A01US, brand new as of two weeks ago). I have also been having my Chromebook reboot when I start Audacity.
