Re: Problem getting sound through headphones running 2.2.2 on macOS High Sierra

Hi Mark,
Did you plug the headphones in after you started Audacity? If so, try
restarting Audacity. I've had this problem before, where I'll either
plug in a new device or enable Stereo Mix while Audacity is running
and have to restart Audacity in order to use said device with
Audacity.
