Its interesting that you should say that because Audacity has 'ALSA'
configured and not 'PulseAudio'.
There is no way to change it in the Audacity GUI.
This may be what is causing the problem since Audacity is trying to use
ALSA directly, but again I don't know for sure.
I haven't used audacity in a long time, but on my Fedora 32, in Edit ->
Preferences -> Devices, the HOST is set to ALSA and there doesn't seem to
be a way to change it. But Playback Device and Recording Device both have
a "pulse option". Have you tried those?
The Audacity tutorial says
(
https://ttmanual.audacityteam.org/o/man/tutorial_selecting_your_input.html)
that "An audio host is an interface between Audacity and the sound card
driver. ... In Linux there is often only one option: ALSA, other options
could be OSS and/or Jack Audio Connection Kit (also known as "Jack" or
"Jackd")." So HOST is not where you'd make any changes.
