Audacity doesn't work or is super buggy, no alternative works either

what’s wrong? I have no clue.

audacity from the packages is very instable, tenacity doesn’t compile and sneedacity is worst than tenacity. then the official audacity binary doesn’t work (I have Xwayland).
an alternative?

impossible to make sound work in linux…sounds like an old trope doesn’t it…
