Playhead skips in Big Sur

Very frustrated following upgrade to Big Sur. When editing the playhead doesn't move smoothly but skips along making it very difficult to identify the exact point of the sound. Any ideas?

Right-click on the Audacity icon in Applications. Select Get Info. In the Get Info window, check "Open in Low Resolution".

Does that help?

It does. Brilliant! I think I saw this reply elsewhere and maybe from you but I misread it and missed the part of doing it in Applications. Anyway thank you very much.
