The insider program is usually a playground for people who want to offer feedback towards the OS devs, tinker with the OS and also don't mind having to reinstall said OS when they do encounter a critical error. I don't think you should be working with that version of the OS, if you can't afford down time for your system.

That being said, you might want to mention the make and model of your motherboard if you're on a PC. If you're on a laptop, please mention the make and model + SKU of your laptop. In either case, check to see what BIOS version you're on for your PC's/laptop's motherboard.

Have you tried reinstalling the audio drivers after experiencing the audio issue? Would be a good idea to include your audio equipment as well.
