Every time I open a new project (without first shutting down Audacity completely (“Quit”)) it comes up with this error message - see attached
So I have to 'Quit" audacity each time I want to open a new project.
I have gotten so used to shutting down and reopening completely each time I open a project that I had forgotten this was even happening
Note - this has happened with every version of audacity that I had installed.
(I am reporting all errors so that you can see all the issues as they may be linked)…
Ah, sorry, I didn’t notice that the dialog says “playback device”. What playback device are you using? If you do Transport > Rescan Audio Devices after getting the error message, does that help?

Just wanted to add first that when I select the drop down under problem details, this is what it says:
