Yes. I was seeing this all the time with the previous build. But I was the only one and thought something was wromg with my machine.
Every couple of minutes the sound would stop and my CPU would spike up to 100% ( I have a little app that shows the CPU activity of all 8 cores)
This would happen with even only one instruments in VEP. It would also happen on large sessions.
I ended up going back to an old version and this stopped the problem.
The engineer at Vienna said that going back a version shouldn't fix anything as that build wasn't any different in that regard.
Still, it fixed the problem for me.
At the moment the latest build is working fine with no freezes.
Sorry I can't be of any more help.
I'm on 2 Macs.
