If you can record it in audacity and play it back, but you
cannot hear it directly in the speakers or headphones, it
means you need to configure the Sound Preferences:
RightClick on speaker  icon -> Sound Preferences -> Hardware
Be sure you have selected the correct output hardware.
On the same screen, click on Test Speakers
a new screen will pop up to test left/right speakers. If no sound,
it means you selected the wrong profile.
That can also be indicated when you
RightClick on speaker  icon -> Sound Preferences -> Output
It will likely show Dummy output.
