No sound on some tracks

[Jebbers]

I had to split that track, duplicate it, then make a stereo track from it. But now I've lost the sound from that track. The waveform is there unalterered, but no sound is coming from the track. Nothing is changed in the mute, solo, pan or volume controils for that track.

I backed up to just a mono track with out the duplicate and make stereo tack and now I've got sound. Obviously, something is awry in mixing. I am using audacity portable. this morning I trashed the one I was using and downloaded a fresh audacity portable.

I had previously exported the parts of the project. They do not play when loaded to audacity or to a media player. I'm in a panic over here.

I am using audacity portable.

Audacity and Audacity Portable are different programs. You might try Audacity Portable support.

Thanks Koz. I don't know what's going on but now everything is back to normal. I ran a scan (something I also don't know anything about) and maybe it removed the problem?

Now it's doing it again. The tracks from yesterday are silent in the headphones, the waveform is visible, the meter is bouncing in time with the waveforms, the newly imported overdub tracks are sounding through the phones. Some tracks are sounding and others are not, whether mute or solo is on, makes no difference on some of the tracks. They remain without sound.

I wonder if I made a mistake splitting tracks and then rejoining them? Could that lead to this problem?
