I had a stuttering problem and rolled back a couple versions because of it, and the fact that the audio device output type selection is now gone because I needed that. Why do you need that? I already explained it here: https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=115195&p=393413#p393413

Oh, and also because I have my wireless headphone transmitter connected to the front channel output with a splitter cable, being able to switch to stereo in VLC saves me the effort of going through the sound card settings. BTW. it would probably be a good idea to have some way to downmixing to stere...

I had a stuttering problem and rolled back a couple versions because of it, and the fact that the audio device output type selection is now gone because I needed that. Playing 5.1 sounds from a video, it gave a constant "main warning: timing screwed" message and something about the sound p...

So that feature (menu item) is not coming back then, that's sad :( Why do you need that? On some videos that are mixed to 5.1 they have done a bad job at mixing that puts all the dialog in the center channel only, so it has no stereo image and the voice is very "dry" because none of it is...

Try setting the CPU affinity of VLC to one core in the task manager. It seems to me like this is a thread scheduling problem of some sort.

Does it skip less with OpenGL video output module? The audio is largely unaffected. It still skips, maybe a little more. The video skips much more. It feels like the whole computer skips slightly with the video. Typing on the keyboard seems to have a slight lag every time I hear a skip. Setting the...

I changed the audio output module to WIN32 WaveOut, which largely solved the skipping issue. There's only a couple skips left at the beginning of the video, and a few lagging frames randomly throughout. Here's the log with two threads on two cores with WaveOut for audio: main debug: Received first p...

Eikka: the FFMPEG threads option also works? http://wiki.videolan.org/WindowsFAQ-2.0.x#H.264.2FMPEG-4_AVC_playback_is_too_slow_.28or_laggy.29 It defaults to two threads. Changing it to 1 or 0 (automatic) didn't have much effect, but setting it to 4 made it skip much worse, causing the video to skip...

I have a bad audio stuttering problem that makes the audio skip and echo continuously on all videos: main debug: audio output is too slow (28809 us): trashing 50000 us main warning: audio output out of sync, adjusting dates (353990 us) main warning: not synchronized (353991 us), resampling main warn...
