Audacity will not Save a sound file. To make a new sound file, you have to File > Export. If your file type is missing from the first menu > Select Other Uncompressed Files.
You may need to upgrade to the current Audacity, 2.1.2

If it's still missing, you may need to add the FFMpeg software which lets Audacity manage many more different sound formats.

There is an Amiga export, but it's IFF, not AIFF.

I can't either. So that's an Undocumented Feature. Will your Amiga play a WAV? You might be able to use the Amiga tools to produce an IFF. Or even an AIFF. All these tools just rearrange the header and support information. The basic sound stays the same.

well initially I wanted to export sounds to 8bit 22050 WAV which Amiga can handle well, but I noticed IFF/Amiga format in 'other uncompressed files' so I gave it a try.

I don't think our failure is normal. I turned it in to the senior forum elves.

If you want
unsigned 8-bit WAV, that is an encoding option when you choose WAV in "Other uncompressed files".
Add the correct extension you want to the end of the file name when you export. Otherwise due to a bug, Audacity adds .aiff extension, though the audio is encoded correctly.
