Hmmmmm... I've just noticed something. It appears that on your track with the piano, you have "auto-monitoring" enabled. I'm not feeling good about that.
Listen closely. The "Monitor Button" has three(3) modes: Off, On, Auto.
Remember the Monitor Button'? It's the little button with the 'speaker' icon. Click it until it says 'On' (not 'auto').
This could be part of the problem.

Right I have these figures 44.1 kHz 24bit WAV:2/0ch 512 spls~13/11 ms (Greek to me!) You need to CLICK ON IT, so it opens your audio & midi ins & outs menu. Then take a screen grab if it and post it here, please.

Try this: Go to Preferences/Audio/Device That will get you to a page with the settings for ins & outs. See if you can post a screen grab of that. We are hoping to find something amiss there which could offer a one-click solution. I've got a travel day the rest of the morning and well into the afternoon - i.e. I'll be tied up for next 8 hrs or so. In the meanwhile you may want to poke around the following. In the "help menu" at top - under 'documentation' is a REAPER user manual. And post that screen grab.

king2b: I don't have any idea about Reaper, but on the off-chance this might be the problem: do you have multiple sound cards / hardware installed in your PC? If so, perhaps the problem is that your speakers are plugged into a different one than Reaper is sending the output to. This may not always be obvious, because some PCs may come with a built-in sound chip on the motherboard, but your vendor may have installed extra sound hardware on it and configured everything else to point to that, and Reaper may not know which one is supposed to be the default. Your vendor may not have told you about this. Perhaps you could try selecting each of the listed output devices, no matter how unlikely (yes, that includes the one that looks like it's connected to a microphone -- don't always trust what the computer thinks a device is), and see if any of them might work? Alternatively, presumably you already have other audio software that's already working; perhaps you could poke around the settings for those other software and try to find out the name of the output device they're using. That might give you a hint about which device you should point Reaper at.

[ Finally, I'm home. No more trips to the summer place 'til May/June. Maybe now I can concentrate. ] Yes! Fugue's on the right track. But also, I primarily wanted to see what your 'Driver' setup looked like. But, again, Those darn Macs appear to look a little different than my ol' PC. Here's what my Audio/Device window looks like.
See where it says "ASIO"? That's my audio 'driver'. I think the problem may be that we need to straighten out your 'driver' situation.

Been doing some digging. (Macs are a pita...) Here's a shot of p. 22 & 23 of the REAPER User Guide. (free download at the same place you downloaded REAPER). Follow these instructions precisely and I think you'll be golden. And maybe someone else familiar w/ Macs can step in here to make sure things go smoothly. (OR... you could just buy a pc )

(you don't like to provide many details, do you...) Glad it's finally sorted. I learned something here, too. Mac's "device setting" setup is totally different than for a pc.
Let me know how the midi editor works out for you.

Boot I think you are one or two steps in front of me with the midi editor. Now I have sound how can I use the keyboard to create some kind of notation or what exactly is the next step I need to be doing.
Thanks
