Did you actually find the punch copy/ paste plug in and does it work on your Audacity 2.3.3.? I have exactly the same system (mac OS 10.14.6) and desperately looking for that plug in. I know Audacity itself has replaced it with Punch roll for the recording purposes, but I need punch copy / paste fo...

To create a WAV file, use "File menu > Export > Export at WAV" rather than the "Save" command.

I actually solved this. It was my webcam. I had unplugged the cam usb and thought that would solve the issue, as I believe it did previously. However, the pc needed a restart which then solved the problem. How strange. Thanks for posting the solution. I shall close this topic as "solved" ...
