Sound problem after saving project

When I start working and open files I can hear sound and everything's working.
Only when I save a project- I hit play and there's no sound.
If I copy a track from the saved project to a new one- it's working.
I tried reinstalling, and it didn't work.
Please help?
Thanks

I don't understand why copying a track to a new project makes a difference unless you are muting the tracks in the original project. Press the Solo button on all the tracks. Make sure you are using the current 1.3.12 Beta.
Also be aware that you need to
keep the imported files available, not move or delete them, unless you copy them into the project.

I know, I use this software for a while now, and for some reason that exactly what happens.
The trackes aren't muted, and the files are available.
Only when I copy the track to a new project it's playing.
I'm not sure when it started but it's possible that it happend after installing the newer version,
and if so, I don't understand why it happens only in my computer.
I can record the screen for everyone to see if it helps...

By all means do ALT + PrtScr to capture an image of the Audacity window and upload the image to your post (Upload Attachment underneath the Preview/Post Message buttons). Are you really sure you are using 1.3.12 (see Help > About Audacity)? Previous Betas had problems with desynchronised playing of multiple tracks if the track sample rate (above the mute/solo buttons) did not match the project rate (bottom left of the screen).
How many tracks have you got and how long are they? On slower computers Audacity may be able to play only a few tracks if they are very long (this should be improved in the next 1.3.13 Beta).
