I'm using the current version of Audacity 2.4.2

I can record and playback fine, but the wave form/audio track is not moving with it, in both actions, making editing nearly impossible. All was fine till today....of course.

HELP

Either tick "auto-scroll if head unpinned" in Audacity preferences ...

or pin the playhead for scrolling ...
