Audacity Forum

I just tried rebooting my computer and now the play button works correctly in Audacity! So it's something wrong with my computer not the program, I guess.

No, the space bar doesn't work and I couldn't play your file. It doesn't matter where I put the cursor, either. When I hit the play button, the cursor line just sits there, as if waiting for something.

Does anyone know why when I import a wav file and then try to play by hitting the play button on the toolbar, nothing happens. It's as if it's on permanent pause, even though the pause button hasn't been hit.
