URGENT: Error message "Error opening sound device.

Audacity Help Forum macOS
1

I have a super deadline and I’m getting this error message which freezes up Audacity

“Error opening sound device.
Try changing the audio host, playback device and the project sample rate.”

I’m using Audacity 2.3.0
in a Macbook Pro running High Sierrra 10.13.6

I have to solve this ASAP

Are you overdubbing? If you are, the recording system and the playback system have to be perfect. The error doesn’t tell you which system failed.
