I have Ableton Live 9.1.1 running on OS X High Sierra 10.13.4 and Ableton keeps crashing whenever I attempt to load samples into instruments. I downloaded EtreCheck and got a report

I have Ableton Live 9.1.1 running on OS X High Sierra 10.13.4 using a 2012 macbook pro and Ableton keeps crashing whenever I attempt to load samples into instruments. Ableton does not open when clicking directly on the app once a crash occurs, I must either restart the computer or right click Ableton in the applications folder show package contents and open using Terminal. I noticed that Bus error 10 comes up in the Terminal report but dont know if it is significant. Can anybody help I downloaded EtreCheck and got this report :
