Thanks to Richie Witch (3rd Post) - this was my issue - sampling rates must be the same in Windows & Ableton.

I fixed this by changing my audio driver from ASIO to DirectX

I have the same problem. I cannot switch between Live 9 and youtube (where I watch tutorials). ...
I tried to make changes according to suggestions in this thread but cannot make it work.
The fix would be to get a decent audio interface that supports multi-driver management
Getting "a decent audio interface." Does that mean buying an audio card?
Yes which the price has come down alot in years.

A basic audio interface like the focusrite Scarlett can be had for approx $100 and allows multi client audio.

Behringer even makes a $30 audio interface. Dont know if it supports multiclient ASIO though. If it has a dedicated driver, it probably does but if it requires ASIO4ALL, then it probably doesn't.

I had this same problem, but found a way to fix it.

In my system, the problem was that Live was set to use 48k Hz sampling, but Windows was set to 44.1k Hz sampling. Click the speaker icon down in the lower right corner of your tray, open up Playback Devices and click the Properties button. On the Advanced tab, you can check what the sample rate of that device is. Make sure it matches the sample rate that Live is using. You'll have to do this for every channel on your soundcard since each channel shows up as a separate device.

After I made this change, I could run Live, stream YouTube, SoundCloud, watch tutorial videos, etc, all at the same time with no audio issues.
Just a quick heads up to say how spot on this point was for me. Been struggling with this issue for a while now and only just stubbled onto this thread! Thanks a million

Hey I know this is a dead thread but I have this issue. Both my hz are 48k but i still cannot do anything. I do not have an interface yet which is what others are saying will help. Do you think if i get an interface it will make a difference?

When you say "I cannot do anything", could you be more specific? Sounds like nothing is working at all. If nothing is working, an interface probably won't fix that.
