Sound output is broken in Audacity on my Thinkpad X200 running GuixSD,
at least within GNOME 3 (I haven't tried it anywhere else).  It worked
in the past.  I see the following error messages in Audacity's
stdout/stderr:

FYI It's working for me on a foreign distro (Debian).

Hi,

what ALSA pcm device have you configured Audacity to use? From the log 
it looks like it tries to use some pcm devices that are commonly 
configured in a global alsa.conf (on ubuntu for example in 
/usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf (.d). Possibly you do not have these global 
definitions available?

Does using "hw:0,0" work if set as pcm device in the audacity config?

Regards,
Flo

P.S.: I'm not using guix ATM, so I have no idea on where the guix ALSA 
packages would store global configs, etc..

I couldn't reproduce the issue on my GuixSD system, but I'm *not* using
Gnome3 (I'm just using a lightweight-desktop derived config with
ratpoison).

Have you checked your levels? My volume was almost inaudible when I
first installed GuixSD. I had to use pactl or something to boost the
volume; Gnome should make this easy though...

For some reason, it was using "hw:0,1" by default, which is the digital
output of my sound device.

> Does using "hw:0,0" work if set as pcm device in the audacity config?

When I switched it to "hw:0,0" (the analog output), that fixed the
problem.  I'm not sure what changed since the time when this worked
without my having to fiddle with the sound output device setting.

   Thank you!

I'm closing this bug, since no one else has reported anything similar,
and it was easily fixed by configuration.

Thanks to everyone who responded with their ideas.
