I've installed Audacity on my laptop and tried to make a recording. I've got the internal mike set at the default setting, and when I test it in the Settings of Zoom, it looks like it's working, but I can't get any response from Audacity
You're not trying to use the mike in two different applications at the same time, are you? i.e. Zoom and Audacity.
You can click on the input meters and monitor an input, to see if sound is coming through. You can record and play back something.
or make it play back what I've just said. I've followed the tutorials, but absolutely nothing! Am I supposed to save my test and then play it back?
You could do that if you seem to get Audacity to record but not play (e.g. play it back in something else). If Audacity is recording something, you'll see the waveform of what it's recording in the track displays.
You might be striking one of those situations where your hardware reports more than one mike source and you've selected the wrong one.
