I too have the same or similar problem. I click on Edit/Preferences and when I choose Audio I/O then the top left (Audio Playback Device) it is empty with no dropdown menu, however the recording device shows drop-down options.
Playback works with mp3 file double clicked on desktop for example. So must be an internal to Audacity
