Are you using a laptop or desktop? Desktops usually have two headphone jacks,
one at the back and one at the front. If you are using a desktop, your problem
may be easily solved.

Hi, Gene,
A lesson well-learned. A long time ago, the regular headphone jack on this PC
quit working properly, and I mostly don't use headphones with the PC anyway,
this time was unusual.
Thanks very much.

I see that the problem has addressed and it evidently isn't what I thought it
was. You said, I can save the track, but it won't play back in any other
player.
Evidently, from your earlier comment, it wouldn't play in audacity either.
That was ambiguous. If something won't play in Audacity that you have
recorded, it won't play in any other player.
Are you using What you hear, or Stereo Mix or whatever your internal sound card
calls the feature to record streams or are you using loop back? When you plug
in a USB set of headphones or speakers, Windows considers them the default
soundcard until you disconnect them. Unless there is a certain reason you want
to use USB headphones, you would eliminate the problem by using nonUSB
headphones. I don't use USB headphones for that reason. I want whatever
soundcard I have set to do what I want to do whether I am using headphones or
not. And headphones that aren't USB can sound just as good.

If you aren't exporting, but just saving, it isn't compatible with other
players. Files are saved in a format Audacity uses for further work if you
want to do more in a multitrack format. If you don't know how to export,
people will discuss it.

Subject: [audacity4blind] Audacity no longer playing back my track I try to

Hello, Folks,
I am very much a novice with Audacity, and mostly use it for transposing music,
but have recently started recording from Youtube and other sources.
However, with no known changes on my end, I discovered that I cannot play back
what I have recorded. At least, the app seems to have recorded my track but
will not play back.
I can save the track, but it won't play back in any other player.
I'm sorry I can't give better information to help you help me trouble-shoot.
Thanks very much for helping me get back to recording again.
