Whenever I try to play any audio, the app just freezes for a second and does nothing

Whenever I try to play any audio, the app just freezes for a second and does nothing. Then it unfreezes again. I have also just installed it so I don’t really know if I have set anything up wrong, but i have checked my output device and it’s correct. There is also no loop on any part of the audio, so that is not the problem.

Now that I think about it, as soon as I downloaded the app it found a bunch of plugins I use for FL Studio and seemed to have loaded them. Maybe that could be the issue? If so, could I turn them off somehow?

Maybe I should just revert to Audacity 3?
