Audacity has, all of a sudden, ceased to play back. When I click the play button an Error window pops up that reads: "Error while opening sound device. Please check the output device settings and the project sample rate."
Can anyone tell me how to fix this?
Thanks for any help.

Re: Playback Error
What are you playing back into and did you change it? Are you playing to your internal speakers? New USB Headphones? Describe your system. Koz
Re: Playback Error
I haven't changed anything. It's played back through the external speakers I have plugged in since I set it up when the new iMac arrived two weeks ago. If anything got changed, it was an accident. I haven't intentionally changed anything.
Re: Playback Error
All of a sudden, Audacity has begun to playback again. So I suppose the problem solved itself, at least for now.
