Audio Engine won't turn on. Help!!

I started my project today and have no sound. Noticed audio engine button not engaged. Tried to turn it on and it won't.  I'm pulling my hair out over this.

    ...audio engine button not engaged. Tried to turn it on and it won't.
    When I once had this problem, it turned out that the Master bus' output was set to "none" instead of to the Mains.  This setting had changed because I had previously opened the project while the soundcard was disconnected.

    Thanks guys. This was strange.  What up ended up working was going into preferences and unchecking the user interface and clicking ok.  Then going back in and rechecking the user interface. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Man that was terrible.

    Thanks again,

    Sometimes I find the Playback Timing Master is blank in the Preferences and I have to reselect it.

    sometimes just opening up the preference menu and then closing it simply by clicking"okay"resets it.
