rixalex Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Hi,For many months now i have been using VLC media player to watch downloaded avi files. In the last week or so though, the audio has started to stutter every minute or so for a few seconds. Picture seems ok. Tried downloading the latest updates but problem remains. Any ideas people? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langsuan Man Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 In VLC player, while it is playing, go to Audio > Audio Device > Mono (instead of Stereo) If that doesn't solve it, delete the program and then reinstall it VLC does have a tendency to become corrupted over time, but is still, IMHO, the best player out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried switching to Mono. No change. As far as deleting and reinstalling goes, i think i have effectively already done this, as when i requested updates it made me uninstall before it installed the latest version. Anything else it could be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darrel Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Is this on all files or only some? Try using WMP instead, just to see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laawman Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 I've had this a couple of times in the past - solved by hunting down the latest audio drivers for the soundcard. Worth a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbk Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 I have this on my netbook too, and it does teh same for WMP too, audio drivers update seems to be the culprit then, will search them out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supernova Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 VLC is a piece of crap. Use KMPlayer or get MPC-HC. Both offer superior playback quality along with a host of other options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angiud Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 If you use it with Windows 7, cold be an insufficient RAM issue. I'm just a computer newbie... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve187 Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 try completely uninstalling and do a fresh install. the update option always causes me problems. Is it when reading from one drive only? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edmartech Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Try other player first. Gom Player or KMP. If it still the same, look for an updated audio driver. If it still persists, it's possible that a program/application is the culprit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
