Sometimes latest versions of the software can cause issues when installed on older devices or devices running an older version of the operating system.
Software makers usually fix these issues but it can take them some time. What you can do in the meantime is to download and install an older version of Audacity 2.4.2.

What's new in this version:
Easy configuration reset:
- A new command has been added to the Tools menu: Tools > Reset Configuration.
- This resets your Audacity configuration, preferences, export settings and toolbars, to default settings.
- This command acts immediately with no dialog and no choice of actions or chance to abort.
- Undo is not available for this command.
- User presets in Effects, Generators and Analyzers are left untouched, as are any Macros you may have created and plug-ins.
- Please see Reset Configuration for further details.
- MP3 exports and imports without padding
- Audacity now supports LAME's gapless playback info, allowing MP3s to be exported and imported without additional padding.
- Other applications that support the LAME tag, for example audio player applications, will be able to read MP3 files exported by Audacity without the padding.
