Hi Mally, you've misunderstood one thing: You don't need to change *any* sound settings whatsoever on your machine. The only thing you need to do on your machine is fire up VLC and connect to a stream, that's it.

Everything else is done on your son's PC.

The simplest solution would, of course, be to just have him open the browser on your PC and start the stream there - with VNC , for instance, or just by moving over there ;) The VLC streaming solution is more elegant, of course, but will require quite a bit more work and setup, especially if it need...

Why are you re-streaming a stream? Wouldn't it be easier to just let your son remote control the media player of your choice on your computer and open the internet radio stream directly from there?

jrleighton's Virtual Audio Cable tip works well, even on Win7 SP1.

Hmmm, I've ripped a few more DVDs, and the only one causing problems is Ratatouille... Looks like it's because of the DVD itself. Strange that some programs play it without problems though...

Thanks for your help.

Hmmm, looks like I'm getting lots of "PTS is out of range (XXXXXX) dropping buffer" warnings at those points. What could be causing this? main warning: PTS is out of range (4115134), dropping buffer main warning: PTS is out of range (4083134), dropping buffer main warning: PTS is out of ra...

Thanks for the tip, I'll try that in a bit.

Hi there, I've just noticed that a few scenes in my freshly ripped copy of Ratatouille (PAL DVD) skips in VLC. At certain scenes VLC just cuts out a few seconds of the movie. Media Player Classic doesn't do this, but I'd like to use VLC because the picture is better (MPC seems to suck for anamorphic...
