VLC Media Player plays choppy sounds after F11 update

JediChen · #1 13th July 2009, 01:18 PM

I installed VLC on F11 and it worked but after i updated F11, the video was smooth but the audio from VLC seems to have screwed up.

I went to youtube and tried some vids, nothing's wrong and F11 still plays the usual system sounds.

I have deleted and reinstalled VLC but to no avail. Unforunately, i did not know what i updated as there were just too many updates and i just acepted them all, maybe i shld not do that next time

So, is anyone else facing this problem too?

yes, quickfix, go to Tools->Preferences->Audio, and select Output as SimpleDirectMedia Layer.

Others blame it on pulseaudio, but I'm not sure it's the culprit here, I think vlc's got a problem.
