I have some MP3 files of interviews I've conducted which I'm trying to snip bits out of for a presentation. When I click on them and play in Windows Media Player, they're fine (not great audio quality, but entirely audible). When I open them in Audacity and hit play, the little green Left/Right volume bar flickers normally, but I can't hear a thing. Amplify doesn't do anything.
Even weirder, I could hear one of the same files just fine in Audacity earlier today. No, I haven't changed my headset, volume settings, or anything else between now and then.
File inaudible in Audacity, fine in Windows Media Player
