I now have the same issue on Debian Bullseye; some days ago, it wasn't there. Since the version still is 2.3.3-2 (and it is since 12 May as displayed on https://packages.qa.debian.org/a/audacity.html), could it be an issue with an updated shared library?

Re: Problem with Linux version
Well, this is interesting as it doesn't depend on the number of tracks for me. So at least one possible reason for your problem would be excessive demand of CPU or RAM.
Did you check if it worked before using the same version of Audacity? This seems to be the case for me – so it cannot really be Audacity, but has to do with something changed by the Linux distribution. Filing a bug there possibly would be helpful if your problem is not resource-related.
Re: Problem with Linux version
It was alright for a few weeks but now it's acting up again on playback. I'm experiencing this problem again with only one track.
