I have a recording, but when I click on the Play button, nothing happens. This is not an issue of no sound. Rather, the issue is that the recorded file does not begin to roll.

Re: Recording won't play back
It looks like Audacity is waiting for you to respond to a dialog prompt. Check that there is not a dialog window open (perhaps hidden behind another window).
Also, your recording is way too high and will be distorted (clipped).
