NoshowJones Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 For the past month my sound has been stopping and sometimes saying my VLC has crashed. I have to keep on uninstalling it, and then downloading it again, then it is fine for a few days then happens again. Don't have the same problem with Windows Media Player. Anyone know why?

lopburi3 Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 (edited) And you are using operating system ? ? On my current version Windows 10 have not had any issues. On second thought did have some files that it would not play a few weeks ago - but WMP would not play either.

Popular Post Lacessit Posted November 11, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 11, 2022 Don't have any issues with VLC media player, been that way for years. But then, I have a Linux OS, perhaps it's just another example of Windows strikes again. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJCM Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 I have Windows 10 and VLC installed on NUC (Media Player PC) and it's running trouble some free for over 5 years now, never had to uninstall and then re-install either Windows or VLC. Maybe ask on their forum? https://forum.videolan.org/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always checked WMP and it was perfect, I like to see the numbers for the volume on the screen, that's 1-200 when I use Bluetooth. On some movies 70 is enough, on others it takes up to about 160. VLC has that facility WMP doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it is anything to do with windows. A few weeks ago when I went to VLC I got a pop up saying I should install the latest version 3.0.14, I haven't done anything and still get the same popup. The latest version is now 3.0.17.4 - I think that says it all. In the meantime just using windows media player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question, did you go the website? or was this in VLC itself? VLC (the APP) has an updater and will tell you that there is a new version (if there is one), the Website doesn't know which version you are running and just will point you to the latest Stable version which is 3.0.17.4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hansombeast Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 I use VLC but I haven't updated for around 18 months and I use up to date windows 10 with no problems. Maybe the newest versions have bugs. It does say to update isn't automatic like it used to be... I've left it alone. Works fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
