Audacity Forum

Today, I downloaded Audacity 1.3.5, and successfully dragged a file into it that was created in Garage Band, on my new Mac Pro (latest version of LEOPARD). When I click on the PLAY triangle, I do not hear any sound emanating from either my amplifier/speaker system, or from the little built-in speaker in the Mac tower.

I have clicked on Audacity>System Preferences>, etc. and made sure that the output was set to Core Audio: Built In Line Out, but there is still NO SOUND upon playback.

What is "Core" by the way? I hear the project when I play it in Garage Band; I can play a CD, and I can hear the sound of You Tube films. The only thing that gives me no sound is Audacity. What am I doing wrong, or not doing? I thank anyone out there who can shed some light on this matter.

...and open it up in a fresh Audacity.

Can you hear that? That's a known, good, working sound file and it plays on all the Audacity versions. If you can't hear that, then we get to dig in the machine.

It's not unusual for Audacity to fail to play every possible type of sound file.

So let's take this one at a time. Let me know if the Audacity green sound meters work and you still can't hear it.
