audio hissing /noise ....

[Guest]

Well this has been a problem for many folks for a long time. Anyone here have any other awsome cool, open source, multi format, media players to check out till this issue is resolved?

Or even better would be any feedback or tips on how to perhaps resolve this problem? Anyone?

Same Problem...

Onboard AC'97 (Realtek ALC 658), WinXP with nVidia audio driver 4.57
Turning off "High Quality Audio Resampling" didn't work, too.

Try this:

Settings -> Preferences...
[x] Advanced options
Audio -> Audio output module [Win32 waveOut extension output]
Save

Then restart VLC.

Bingo and thanks! Solved the problem for me immediately. My sound system is the onboard sound of an ASUS A7N8X-X. That means Nforce2-400 and no Soundstorm, but just the regular MCP southbridge. Audio codec is Realtek ALC650. The whole sound system is rather crappy.

I'd prefer to simply use Realtek's AC97 driver package, but I can't. If I do, there is a constant, extremely bothering high frequency noise from the speakers. It's not a pure sine signal but sounds rather rough, as well. The level seems to be independant of windows mixer settings and at any usefull audio level it's just loud enough to hear it all the time.

The only way I found around it, is to use the Nvidia audio driver and check the "digitize input" setting for one or two inputs (don't remember which onws off hands).

I bet, there is some relationship to the "distorted sound" issue with default settings in VLC.

Anyway, thanks for now. Going to have a deep look at this player.

Sorry folks, I've try to do all your advice in here, but my VLC still play the MP files too fast.

I have a old machine AMD K6, with 256 RAM, I had use this software before with good results, but this version doesn't want to walk with me, let me know if you have any comments regarding this.

Thanks

Well, when I went in to choose Win32 waveOut extension output it wasn't there, all thats there is Default and DirectX audio output.

[The DJ]

Well then your installation is definetly broken.

I'm using Gentoo Linux VLC 0.8.1 and I'm experiencing the very same problems. I can just can choose on aRts, ALSA, OSS and others common to Linux. Whatever I do, the sound is crippled with that PTS error.

Win32 waveout is no option.


According to the VLC manual on (http://www.videolan.org/doc/vlc-user-guide/en/ch02.html):

"waveout

default: enabled under Windows

For Windows only

This is the Wave output, which is used by the windows port."

Or do I miss something?

[Bwettz]

Thanks very much...that sound was bothering me beyond all belief!!

[tool++]

Tried the waveout switch and nothing.
I have an nvidia NF7 so Iunno if its soundstorm or not.

The audio is like overdriven and distorted.

[Guest]

audio drift is too big (275124), dropping buffer

I get the same problem. But ONLY when I am playing 11Khz sound.

[Booty_Call]

Yes, is there a fix for this ??
