not knowing if you use windows, osx or a baked potato it's pretty hard to do anything with the info you've provided

I've had lots of dropouts with the latest beta and general version on OSX with a newish Macbook Pro.

I found pressing the RAM button helps such as inside this guide:
https://www.ableton.com/en/help/article ... drop-outs/

Also using smaller audio files helps. If using Simpler or Sampler make sure the loop markers aren't any longer than needs be - this seems to help.

Let us know how you get on.

Here is the deal. Using Win 7 I uninstalled and reinstalled and tried the latest beta. I went back to 9.5. Still problems. I tried all my audio soft and there were no problems. I opened Synfire pro and the audio drop outs and pops have stopped. Ive never seen anything like this. as long as SFP is running Ableton works great. I also uninstalled the driver for the Steinberg UR28m interface. wild

If it's a new MBP it has SSD. Too much stuff on it? Strive for 20% free. What's your memory, free space on SSD, how many tracks?

This is true. App nap needs to be off even though it shouldn't nap under use. It's a good feature actually, but Apple should allow apps to install with it set to off and Live should be one of those apps.
