Weird Bug or something

Postby Hatred » 20 Nov 2010 19:48

Ok my problem is weird .... when i watch .avi files after a while it will start skipping on the audio and make the voices sound slower even though they are playing at a normal rate .... pressing pause then unpause will fix it for a little while but then it happens again .... i thought it might be my files but playing them in windows media player doesnt cause this .... windows media player just sucks .... lol ...

thnx for the help

Open Tools -> Messages (set Verbosity to 2) before playback. Once the problems come up, check the log and tell us what it complains.

Does it help at all if you change audio output module?

Does this problem happen with audio only files?

If this happens only with video files, you could try another video output module and see if that gives audio output module more breathing room.
