Audacity Forum

Well, first I couldn't quite save the project properly, but what seems to have happened, perhaps, is that I mistakenly moved certain files around - all of the bits and pieces in the data folder seem to be there and work properly, but I can't hear any sound come out of Audacity. I could hear it maybe 10 minutes ago - not sure what happened, nothing on mute, etc. Also, was having trouble saving properly. Is there a way I can work on my project, hear/save it again? I'm ready and will to send any and all folders to anyone who can help. Or entertain all suggestions. For now, I'm just keeping the window open, and hoping the file isn't corrupted - ridiculous. Help!

Did you import any files into your project? If so, did you move those files?

From the on-line manual: "If you import an audio file with the "Read uncompressed file directly from the original (faster)" option checked in Import / Export Preferences, never move, rename or delete that file, unless you first copy it into the Audacity project. See File > Check Dependencies for more information."

So you could do a File > Check Dependencies and see if your project "depends" on "external" files.
