I have stripped the set down to just this audio track (which used to play fine).

How can just an audio track playing crash Live?

Got the exactly same problem! Weird!

Track was written in 8.1.3. When taking a closer look at audio file, it appears that 8.1.4 didn't remember the warp parameters correctly.
Originally, the audio in the clip was stretched to over 4 beats and the clip was 4 beats long.
In 8.1.4,the clip was still 4 beats long, however, the audio in the clip was only just over 3 beats.
Just had to re warp the file, and now it plays fine.

Have had other issues with Live 8.1.4 not remembering correct parameters in other sets, like (unlinked) pitch automation in clips.

Never had issues like this when 'upgrading' to newer versions before.

Back to 8.1.3 me thinks.

this is only happened very rarely, but it did happened...

back to 8.1.3 for the time being.

I downloaded and installed 8.1.4 over my 8.1.3 installation. And there now appears to be BOTH on the system ? 8.1.4 and 8.1.3 is still there.
Is this normal ?

it's handy if you need to go back to a previous version for any reason.

Found my problem.
The audio was not grouped, but did have some warping.

Fixed.

Mr.adl, does your audio clip have information all the way to the end of your clip?
