VLC audio issues

[gar3555]

I had heard a lot of good things about VLC from ppl on herer, but I d/led it and tried to play a movie I had, and the audio was horrid, it was very scratchy, continuely in the background. I don't have any problems like this playing it in WMP or WinDVD Home Theater. Anyone know why this is, I tried playing multiple vids, wiith the same result. I run this to my TV. Could this cause a problem?

No, your problem is you are using the default audio output under windows - go to audio settings and change audio output device to 'Wave Out', that will fix it.

Why they default to an audio device that doesn't work under windows in the pre-compiled windows client baffles me, but hey.

Where do I go under windows? I went to the audio tab under the sound and audio device control panel control panel option, but where do i set the output device. Under sound playback, all I have is NVIDIA(R) nForce(TM) Audio. I can't change it to anything else

I found it under the VLC...damn I'm dumb, but now with it set to Win32 Wave out playback, the audio is all jumpy, man...VLC is not working out for me at all

bump...still having difficulty with audio skipping, but only on certain files. Not sure if there is a connection between them, is there codecs that need to be d/led for VLC?
