Hi Gale!

Are you still talking about Mac? What keys exactly are you setting 
for "Left at Playback Position" and "Right at Playback Position"? 
For left playback position is å which is a Danish symbol on the keyboard. It 
uses the key where the left bracket key shoud be on a US keyboard. FOr the 
right playback position I've set ¨ for the same reason. as the left bracket 
key. The position on the keyboard is the exact same, but the keys aren't.
It still don't seems to work here, sadly.

Have you checked in Audacity Device Toolbar and in VoiceOver 
settings that you are selecting the correct output device?    
In Audacity I've selected my BOse USb-speakers and in Voiceover this is 
selected too. When I go into this toolbar and press ok my sound dies 
completely. Therefor I have to restart. I am using the latest version of 
Audacity (version 2.01)
Can I reset any options or something to solve this issue?
I found out that if I turn Voiceover off before Audacity starts it sometimes 
doesn't die. BUt everytime I go into the divice-dialog it dies from my system 
and I have to restart.

Best regards
Thomas
