I'm on Ubuntu 19.10 using Audacity 2.3.2. I installed Audacity from the Ubuntu Software Center.
I use Audacity to record vinyl LPs to FLAC. I've noticed that the program doesn't play back the audio while it's recording. Audacity for Windows does this. Why doesn't Audacity for Linux?
No real-time playback while recording

Re: No real-time playback while recording
Don't worry - I had exactly the same problem a dozen years ago when I started transcribing my record collection to digital format - that's what brought me to this forum in the first place, asking the very same question ...
