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.
