Re: VLC changes pitch/playrate randomly on audio playback

I think I can narrow it down now:

VLC seems to use DirectX as default output module. The problem doesn't seem to arise when I select the "waveout extension output" instead. So the culprit is probably in the DirectX output module or maybe even in DirectSound itself, who knows... :)

Re: VLC changes pitch/playrate randomly on audio playback

Good idea! I just tried 0.9.2 Grishenko (Woo! Cool new GUI!), alas with the same results. I'm not sure but I think it started somewhere with the latest versions of 0.8.5 but unfortunately I didn't use VLC so much for music at that time and I thought that might be a problem on my side too, so I didn'...

VLC changes pitch/playrate randomly on audio playback

Hi, I think I found a funny but serious glitch: Audio file playback is changing the playrate slightly upwards at times. Being a musician, I'm probably a bit more sensitive to variations in pitch and wondered why VLC sounds sometimes like a broken record player. Now I had this phenomenon again on the...

First - sorry, that took a while - I didn't get any mails from the system. "Notify me when a reply is posted" is checked. :shock: No, I don't have an active spam filter. @DJ Thank you - indeed I tried to add 120 videos to the list and alike, but it happened even with a few files. Only when...

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I've tried a 0.8.6 nightly before (no improvement) and now I downloaded the latest 0.9.0, but with that I get no video, just audio and still no working navigation bar. It will stop playback like the other versions if you touch the slider. VLC seems to have real problems w...

The problem still persists, but I create the playlists by hand (dir /b > playlist.m3u) now. Another problem is with *.FLV files and similar to other posts in this forums: No navigation possible and VLC plays them or not. It plays them once fully, the second time it stops playback at a random positio...

Creating playlist incredible slow

Hi all, I run VLC 0.8.5 on a quite old machine (that's were VLC excels most) and appreciate it's low CPU usage. But creating a playlist (especially by adding a whole folder) is virtually impossible: I.e. I added one folder with 120 video files an hour ago and it's still working on it! I guess it sho...
