FInally gave up and working with Swinsian for now - my needs are fairly limited and the improvement in library management etc is a great step up as a bonus. Thank you for the work on VLC, just that with .flac audio as a critical part of the equation for me that uncertainty is impractical for me. Goo...
Try going back to VLC 0.9.10 and test the same files.
Also try converting the flac or wav files to mp3 and see if it still does it. In my case mp3 plays OK but lossless (ie flac, wav) do not.
VLC 2.2.2 Mac OSX 10.9.5 16Gb RAM Still getting noise when playing flacs.

If someone is still reporting this problem I won't bother re-testing for now. I did notice it is more present on more sustained notes and sounds. Very surprised this hasn't been addressed yet...
Similar problem here, a modulating, hissing kind of distortion, like a record player needle that has really built up a lot of fluff and is about to lift off the record. It's not present in other players. In some very rough tests it seems to be prevalent in .flacs and in parts of music with sustained...
Looking through some very old threads and seeing reports of noise in audio on playback, were these issues ever resolved? I'm getting occasional static-type crackle simply playing back audio files, sometimes stopping/starting or restarting VLC will fix it but it seems fairly random. I think it's more...
Not sure if it'll last but....I just ordered by Name, then Author, then re-ordered by Name and it seems to be working! (OSX btw, vlc Version 1.1.10.1) Will it stand a restart? edit:doesn't seem to work for the auto-start on the first batch you drop in there unfort. but does thereafter on manual star...
