The VideoLAN Forums

After doing some further troubleshooting I discovered that all the audio on my machine would have the same crackles (windows sounds, itunes, etc.). I rolled back my VLC version to 1.0.3 and restarted the machine. So far it's testing good. I'll keep you apprised. I would love to have the 1.1 version,...

Ah, good point. This is just weird. On some files it's really bad. An old Real Media Simpsons episode was unwatchable, but some of the new files are just a little bit crackly.

I'm having the same problem. VLC 1.1, Win 7. It seems to get better with Win32 or SDL, but it's not eliminated. Could it be a driver issue? My audio driver is from 2007 (thanks Dell) SigmaTel HD audio codec 6.10.0.5614.
