I'm having problems using Audacity or Ardour5 to record audio on my Thinkpad X200 Tablet. Both programs hang in different ways.

Using Audacity, sometimes, when pressing the record button, it will start and stop in one second. Pressing record again does the same thing. But sometimes it works, and I can record.

Using Ardour5, I click on New Session, giving me a Session Setup window. Using the Empty Template, assigning a name, Test-3, and clicking Open gives me an Audio/MIDI Setup window. Clicking Start gives me a small window that says, "Failed to open audio device." Clicking OK Takes me back to the Audio/MIDI Setup window. Closing that window gives me another small window, Loading Error, that says, "Could not create session in /"home/rstreff/Documents/Ardour/Test-3" Cannot connect to audio/midi engine. Clicking OK takes me back to the Session Setup window.

How can I tell if I've got a hardware problem or a software problem?

And, is there a simple record program I can use that will let me record and monitor the recording on the fly?
