In Multitrack, I hit play and it plays fine for about 15 seconds then it randomly mutes several tracks. The trakcs themselves are not muted in the session, and when they stop playing, are still not shown as muted. They just stop playing randomly at 15 seconds in. 

 

It's a big session with alot of tracks.

 

Any help is appreciated as I'm mixing a Christmas song. And need to finish mixing tonight. Thanks

If the mute is happening every time at the same point expand your tracks and at the Show Envelopes choice mute, keyframes dipping will indicate where the mute is happening during playback

If you've used a lot of effects - or come to that, just a lot of tracks, then the chances are that you've exceeded your hard drive's ability to stream them all at once. If it's an effects issue, then the gloriously simple answer is to use the little lightning bolt at the top of the FX section of a track to pre-render it. That cuts down the computer's work rate considerably - and if you need to you can always undo it if you need to make changes. I'd try that first before considering anything more drastic...
