Try resetting the preferences:

If that doesn't work, try resetting the Workspaces:
Reset a workspace
Reset the current workspace to return to its original, saved layout of panels.
1. Do one of the following:
• Click the Workspace menu icon and select Reset to Saved Layout.
• Choose Window > Workspace > Reset to Saved Layout.
from here:

If that doesn't work, try Preferences > Audio Hardware and set Input to None.

If that doesn't work, try creating a new project and import the old one into it.

What are the hard drives (how many, what kind, what is on each, what capacity, and how full)?

Yes, that normal, all text graphic/motion graphic makes laggy playback, however high spec your pc.

You can render it to make smooth playback

8 gig of ram isn't really enough to run premiere efficiently and the macbook air is not an ideal editing machine.  So, yeah, rendering may be the only way to go...  Also, you might consider a proxy workflow.
