Ok, guys, I need some help:
I've been using audacity for several tasks, for a while, now.
In my windows boot, it works just fine and dandy.
However, in Ubuntu Linux (alternative boot in desktop, single boot in laptop), the recording is odd. It gives me a noise, like a drum, an interference that I can't ID. Listen here:

It's funy that playing files I record from other devices, however, works fine in Audacity (even after I edit the file qualities or change their format) and any other devices, and recording also works fine with the regular sound recorder tool.
I tried messing around with the sound options of Audacity and of the system, to no avail.
Check the screens:
In the preferences/sounds menu:

The only device available is the Conexant ID 2c06 (OSS Mixer); However, I have the option for several audio conference audio capture options:
- ALC833 Analog (it appears twice, I don't know why);
1.- ALSA Advanced Linux Sound Structure;
2.- OSS Open Sound Structure (apparently, this should be the one compatibçe with the OSS mixer, right?)
3.- Sound Test
4.- Silence
5.
6.Picking any of these apparently has no effect whatsoever; just the inner audacity options seem to matter.

8.The audacity menu (edit-preferences-devices-recording)...

12.... also gives me many options:
13.
14.- OSS:/dev/dsp (works, but gives me the result I'm presenting here);
- ALSA:HDA ATI SB: ALC833 Analog (hw: 0,0)
- ALSA:HDA ATI SB: ALC833 Analog (hw: 0,2)
- ALSA: front
- ALSA: surround40
- ALSA: surround51
- ALSA: surround71
Any pick of device except the OSS will bring up an error screen erro acessing the sound device; please check the configurations of the device and the project's sample ratio.
This keeps with any combination I tried between the config of the two menus shown above... and I think I tried them all.
Finally, I messed a bit with the volume control:

and apparently, only the first and last slide bars - volume and in-gain - had any effects whatsoever as to me being able to alter the output though nothing even remotely adressing the existence of that weird noise.
So, basically, Im asking for some advice here; what can I try in order to make this thing work as expected?
Regards
