hi,
I can record ok with audacity recording bits from old cassette tapes

but now I find I get to the end and want to play back to listen to the quality

I hit play and a window comes up ....

try changing the audio host playback device and the project sample rate ...


luckily I find I can save the recording in mp3 ok but it would be nice
to be able to playback the recording on audacity just to clean up one or two things
