The VideoLAN Forums

For the moment, unfortunately the workaround is to switch player. Mplayer X had a similar issue but with different wrong channels... I fixed it though by setting Force detection of SPDIF, then setting passthrough of DTS/AC3, and having my Mac audio options defaulting to output through HDMI.

BTW, the best thing you could do is:

1) Go to the bug
2) Get the test file https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/10199
3) Test on your setup and detail what you hear and from which speakers.
4) Report similarly to what I did (first bug comment), WITHIN the bug page, not here.

Happening to me to right now. Just filed https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/10199 for this.

Everybody with this issue, please follow up there with MEANINGFUL details, and NOT here.

Thanks all for this wonderful software!!!
