Hi Gene Thanks for the suggestions. I followed your instructions. Everything is in order with Audacity, but still no sound. My son says he can see it playing but no sound. The speakers are ok with nvda and mp3's. I must've done something real stupid but don't know what. Suppose I'll have to uninstall and then reinstall. Will leave that for tomorrow.

If you are using Vista or higher, open the Windows volume control while audacity is playing. Even if you don't hear any audio, if you issue the correct play command, it will be playing, you just won't hear audio. To make sure you are in the same place as I am describing, open the volume control in this way: Open the run dialog. type sndvol and press enter. Once the volume control opens, tab around until you find audacity in the volume control settings. See what the settings are. Is the mute check box checked? Is the volume level correct? I have very seldom worked directly with settings of this sort in Audacity itself so I won't discuss how that might be done. But if whatever you did changed the Windows volume control settings to cause the problem, my instructions may help you find and correct the problem even without knowing just what to look for in Audacity.
