Default Audio Playback Issues

Hi,

I got an odd problem. I just finished a mix and the following happens;
When I start the song, after about 5-6 seconds, some audio files stutter or completely stop playing for about half a second. It sounds like the CPU is overloaded and can't process fast enough.
The odd thing is this;
I checked my CPU with different metering programs. My CPU's peak is at 30%.
I also checked the RAM but there's nothing wrong or overloaded either. So, I tested the audio files but they're fine as well.
If I remove/disable nearly all plugins the audio is fine.
To make sure it's really nothing about the CPU or RAM, I loaded an old project with more audio files and more processing going on which is working totally fine.
The issue is only during the playback, the rendering works perfect.

If anyone has an idea what to do I appreciate it, as I'm running out of ideas as changing buffer size etc.

Thanks for reading and greetings;
