I've used Audacity a little on Studio Ubuntu 14.04 with all updates.
Nothing problematic there, but I don't use it very hard. Just a little
recording from Microphone and general editing. I used to get occasional
hangs on 12.04 but they always recovered on restart. Sorry I can't be
more help. Studio is slightly different from standard Ubuntu - which one
are you using.
