No it won't, since you haven't provided any info!

What the error message is might be a good place to start, and how you are trying to start the application

If you can't read any error message, try to launch ardour from a terminal (Super/Win + T, type ardour, hit enter). The stdout there can help.

^ that, and also:

check synaptics packet manager's history, what dependencies did ardour pull in?

i'm pretty sure it needs jackaudio to run, and i'm also pretty sure that pulseaudio and jack cannot co-exist without manual intervention.
you might want to consider uninstalling ardour and everything it pulled in, uninstalling pulseaudio (see our very own wonderful megathread on that) and reinstalling ardour again.
