All of a sudden, I'm getting no audible sound from playback on Audacity. The left and right markers are moving, but no sound is coming out. I probably did something to make this happen. Any idea how I can fix this? Thanks.

How are you listening? Built-in Speakers? Headphones?

Click on the Audacity speaker symbol pull-down and see if it's pointed to something rational like Built-In Output.

I'm listening through powered external speakers, which is what I've always used. The window next to the speaker reads Soundflower (64ch), which I think it what it's always read. The only other choice in the drop down menu is Soundflower (2ch) and when I click on that I get no sound, either. But when I play from another source, such as iTunes or Safari, there is sound through the speakers. The strange thing is I tried Soundflower months ago, didn't like it and removed it from my computer. But it seems to hang on in this one place.

I erased Audacity and downloaded it again. Seems to be working now.
