The most common cause of this is if the playback device is not set correctly, this is the most
common cause to fix this:
1.
Go to
Edit > Preferences > Audio - Devices
.
2.
Make sure the correct audio device is selected in the
Output Drivers
list, then click
OK
.
3.
Make sure the Output control of each audio track in the demo project is assigned to the
correct output device.
Note:

OK
