Not possible to get audio from voice to a balanced level with the background music of movies on my older Windows XP pc. This is not the way it used to be before 2.0.x Same speakers? Same sound-card? Do you have any funny Graphic-Equalizer settings on VLC or your sound-card/chip's software? You prob...

Do you have the bug also when using float32?

I am very sorry, but I have no means of knowing. If I use float32, I am only hearing incredibly harsh sound in all playback - so I cannot tell. Sorry!

Small note: I do not know if this is important, but I discovered something slightly interesting. With 2.0.8, I ensured that "float32" was selected, I clicked "save" and continued using the program apparently successfully. Today, I noticed that although I clicked "save",...

But does going above 100% actually go above 100% ?

Yes, going from 100% to, for example, 150% produces a large volume increase. Thanks!


Also: new audio bug noted: https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=116227

With 2.1.1 and 2.1.2 a new bug is present - I think. I will try to explain: In Preferences->Audio de-select "Enable Time-Stretching Audio" Now, when you change the playback speed from 1.00 to (for example) 0.96 the audio takes on a metallic brittle quality that is unacceptable for use. Pre...

Can you go above 100% ? I apologise for the late reply. :oops: Yes, I can go above 100% -- fully to the 125% maximum. At this level there is no distortion - everything is normal at all volume levels. I re-installed 2.1.2 to check the sound issue, but just FYI, the video bug is still there. Out of 4...

So it works in integer, but not float?

Yes, unchecking "use float32" (in Audio \ Output Modules....) makes everything sound fine once again (stupid old motherboard )

Thanks.

It is still broken in VLC 2.1.1 (Windows XP SP3 32 bit - NVidia nForce 4 Ultra motherboard) I have the same problem. I tried 2.1.0 and 2.1.1 and a nightly build (vlc-2.2.0-git-20131121-1102) but the audio sounds awful on each. I have reverted to 2.0.8 which works. :) Other media programs like Class...
