When you eventually get Audacity to launch, go to "Edit menu > Preferences > Devices".
What options do you have for those settings and what is selected?
(It's also possible that the problem lies in the Mac sound system configuration, but I'm not a Mac user so I'll leave that side to someone that is.)
