[1]Ableton Live (demo) version 7 crashes when the sample rate is changed to a high sample rate (i.e 176k or 192k) and upon reopening the application. This occurs when after quitting Live with the sample rate set to either 176k or 192k, and then opening the Dice Control Panel and/or the Audio/Midi Control Panel and switching the sample rate to a lower/different sample rate. When Ableton Live is opened after the change, it crashes. Possibly an Ableton problem - we are looking into it.
[2]Workaround: please do not install the new driver when the device is attached.
[3]Changing Sample Rate or Sync Source back and forth will resume streaming.
