Just to add some complication to your lives:
As has been discussed, you can either mute tracks you do not want to hear or
solo the one you want to hear. The choice depends what is most convenient in
the current situation. But here is the complication or, put better, another
option.
In Audacity Preferences under Track Behaviours you can choose solo to be
simple, multi-track or none. Simple is straight forward. Only one track can
be soloed at once. If you choose multi-track, any number of tracks can be
soloed. I usually use Simple, but in a recent project found Multi-Track to be
useful.
Then there is the None option. One would think that it precludes soloing, but
it does not. I suspect there is a subtle difference between Simple and None,
but have not discovered it yet.

That should work, I use that technique every day.

I select the tracks that I don’t want to hear and from the track menu, I mute
them. There’s probably a more efficient way to do it, but that’s how I do it.

I tried this, the track doesn't play. I can only get audio to play if
everything is unsoloed, so assumed that there was something else I had to do.

Not sure if my email came through, but say you have 2 tracks, and you want to
play the second track, but not the first, how to do that?
Thanks.
