Well that's not my experience. I was heavily involved in the alpha testing stages of 2.1.2 and it never really faltered for me - to the extent that I took the risk of using those later alphas for my production work. I have no problems with plug-ins not working either.

The first thing you should do is upgrade to Audacity 2.2.2, which you can get via the Audacity website:

Are you also recording from a USB headset?
What have you selected as your
Recording Device?
In general... If you set the threshold too high (a small negative dB number) recording may not start.
If you set the threshold too low (a bigger negative dB number) recording may be triggered continuously by background noise (acoustic or electronic noise) and the recording may never stop/pause.
If you can't find a setting that works (no false-triggers and no misses) then sound activated recording may not be appropriate for your application.
