Hello All,
UPDATED BELOW:
I was working on some songs. Recording then playing back. I’ve been doing it all day but on my last tune I heard just the slightest ‘click’. I let it finish recording, went back and pressed play to see if the ‘click’ was audible on the recording. There was no playback/sound at all (from speakers) . I could see it playing as the “Playback Meter” was working just fine.
I tried recording another selection, saved it and it plays back on another media player.
I checked Audio Setup>Host and tried each option. No sound.
Tested all my other audio and video software and they all play sound just fine.
Rebooted computer. No sound.
So, I reinstalled Audacity. Same problem. Next I uninstalled and reinstalled Audacity again. No sound.
I ran diagnostics and got the dreaded -9996 code when Audacity tried to access my speakers.
I tried USB headphones. No sound. Tried "old school’ mini audio jack headphones. No sound.
I changed my sample rate and format. No Sound.
It’s almost like a driver took a dive or something but I would have thought the re-install would have corrected that.
Windows 11 64bit Dell desktop. Using Realtek speaker output setting.
Can anyone offer me a suggestion.
Thanks…SC
UPDATE: Okay. Something WAS corrupted. I went back and uninstalled. I then reinstalled and this time I checked the box to reset the preferences…sorry don’t remember exactly the title but it’s on the install page. I have sound again. Now, I have to go back and reinstall my plugins…Grrrrrrrr
