Not a single one of my 2500+ mp3 showed up in the audio library.

Solution found by pure chance, going through all menus in detail...
Settings > Advanced > Clear media database

It took a while to scan all the files, but everything is perfect now.

Added a custom directory containing more than 2500 audio files to Settings > Directories. Nevertheless my Audio library is still shown as empty (No media files found...). When navigating to Directories in the main menu, my audio files are shown in alphabetical order. Searching for an artist or a son...

Not any more. I did use the ASUS EPU engine in the past, but think it's easier to define power & fan settings in BIOS.

Also suffered from this problem since VLC 2.0 appeared. Let me summarize my own experiences, described already in other threads: - Asus mainboard P7P55, audio VIA VT1828S (listed in mainboard user manual) - Win7 x64, VIA audio driver (from Asus website): stuttering every few seconds. - Win8 x64, Mic...

After my success in Win8 (see above) I found a solution for my Win7 x64 environment as well: - in device manager, uninstall VIA HD Audio device and check the option to delete the driver files - on reboot, audio controller is detected and driver loaded from Windows Update - device is now identified a...

Did a Windows 8 clean install to a new partition. No additional sound drivers installed: VLC 2.0.4 is working perfectly, no issues at all! Therefore my assumption is that the Win7 sound driver provided by Asus/VIA for the P7P55D-E mainboard is causing the choppy sound when used in conjunction with V...

@59Herz: Both of your recipes don't solve my problem. @Rémi: Yes, am restarting VLC after every change. Have tested 30 combinations (6 clock sources, 5 output modules) and got these results: (1) Clock source has no influence at all. (2) There are 3 different failure modes, depending on the output mo...

Merci beaucoup Rémi!
Tried today's 32-bit build of VLC 2.1.0.

Good news: Choppy sound is gone, no matter what clock source I select.
Bad news: At times the sound is warbling (VLC 1.1.11 is my reference).

This is an i7 gamer PC, Win7 power plan = high performance.
Gave VLC 2.1.0 a try. Found "clock source" in extended options but the drop-down list is empty. No selection can be made.

Immediately after VLC 2.0.0 appeared I noticed choppy audio. Tried all tips mentioned in different threads, tried every new VLC version, but the problem is still present with my Asus mainboard P7P55D-E, VIA VT1828S audio codec, Win7 x64. Am willing to help if told what to do.

Have rolled back the audio driver to the original one provided by Microsoft, 6.1.7601.17514, but no improvement. Have changed sample rate and bit depth in the advanced properties of the playback device. 24/44100 shows a slight improvement compared with 24/48000. Went back to VLC 1.1.11, but am willi...

Same problem here. Asus mainboard P7P55D-E, using VIA VT1828S 8-channel High Definition Audio Codec. Win7 Ultimate 64-bit, VIA audio driver 6.0.1.8700. Result: VLC 2.0.0 portable interrupts every 4 seconds. Now comes the interesting thing: When running - VirtualBox 4.1.8 on top of the above setup - ...
