downloaded 2.4.2 still no sound on playback
OK, so lets take a look at that "Audio Device Info":
1. "Help menu > Diagnostics > Audio Device Info" and wait a few moments for the info to appear.
2. Click the "Save" button and save the file somewhere convenient.
3. Attach the saved "deviceinfo.txt" to your reply (see:
viewtopic.php?f=49&t=64936)

Hello Steve, you can forget about this issue. I can now record and play it back. I switched to another set of speakers and set them as the audio out device in Audacity. However I still have no sound otherwise? Any ideas? Windows Media Player problem maybe?
Thank's again.

Realtek USB Codec speakers functioning properly but not in Audacity?
If you haven't already done so, try cycling through the Audio Host: MME, WIndows Direct Sound, Windows WASAPI. Perhaps one of these will work.

Why do you think this might be a WMP problem - Didn't you say "speakers are functioning properly"?
