Thank you very much, the solution #21 was the right one for me!

I changed the outputdevice from default to HW:0,0 Analog.

Audacity 2.0.5

Title:
  Ubuntu 13.10 upgrade: audacity sound is trashed, program highly
  unstable

Status in audacity package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  On playback I get a rough static that crackles corresponding to the
  waveform intensity; on occasion the sound may start as noise and then
  flip into proper sound output, but when paused the subsequent playback
  will produce static and pausing that will crash the program.  I have
  tried Playback set to Alsa/pulse and Alsa/default, both give this
  behaviour.  When the selected sample is played as noise, the scrolling
  cursor works, but appears to be scrolling by much faster than real-
  time.

  also, when the playback works, the scrolling cursor behaves very
  strangely: the thin line may not move at all, or a segment of it may
  stay put while another part of it scrolls along with the sound.

  This is a fresh upgrade to 13.10 on a 64-bit Ubuntu machine, a
  ZaReason Strata laptop with nvidia sound (according to alsa).

  Audacity worked fine on 13.04, occasional lock ups, but Audacity is
  prone to occasional lock-ups, and the sound was fine.  Audio works
  fine with other audio apps including youtubes, totem, vlc and sushi.
  If I highlight a segment of sound in Audacity and export to disk as
  mp3, sushi will play the resulting mp3 fine.  The problem seems
  peculiar to Audacity playback.
