[audacity4blind] itializing Audio Error When Starting Up Audacity

I sure hope someone can help me out with this one, because I'm really stuck.

I recently bought a new desktop running Windows 8.1.  I've installed
Audacity 2.05.

When I open Audacity, I get the following error:  "Error Initializing
Audio Dialog.  Could not find any audio devices.  You will not be able
to record or play audio.  Internal audio port error."

I'm using Jaws 15, along with an Alva BC640 braille display.  The
default playback device is "Speakers, 2- AK4571."  My other choice
seems to be "Speakers, Realtek High Definition Audio, Ready," but  I
am having trouble figuring out how to make that one the default.  The
Realtek was at one time the default, but the audio from Jaws would
then come over my braille display's speakers, which I don't want.

Is there a solution?

Thanks!

Dave
