...sometimes it works and sometimes not!...I use Windows 8.1, recently reinstalled Audacity 2.1.1, used installer not zip...for example I open a previously created file, press play to hear it...will play once fine...then make a change to the track and receive the error...tried different things I\ have read in the forums...if I can hear it once, can't be a problem with Realtech speakers (selected for playback) looked for disabled devices etc. hmmm....I had been "saving project" each time I make a change to a trak, then it would play...but that don't seem to work either anymore...

How much hard drive space do you have? You have symptoms of a computer slowly being strangled.

"Error opening sound device" doesn't know or care about whether it can access the audio data in your project or not = if not, it would normally just play silence.
I suggest you have a look at

If the problem persists please attach the contents of Help > Show Log... and Help Audio Device Info... . Please see here for how to attach files:
