Hello Hitchhiker, Doing your last suggestion solved the problem. I did: Preferences, Audio tab, under Output for Device, I selected Speakers (SABAJ USD DAC) and saved. When I reopened VLC and check Audio, audio device, Speakers (SABAJ USD DAC) was correctly selected instead of previously default. Pr...

Hello jayR, My setup is as follows. I have this SABAJ USB DAC that is connected to the back of my desktop computer and a cable connects from this DAC to my headphones. And I hear the sound through my headphones. For some reason, Windows calls these headphones Speakers (SABAJ USB DAC) when I use the ...

Hello Hitchhiker, I follow your steps: tby Hitchhiker » 07 Oct 2020 11:50 Try doing the following. 1. Right click the Start button and go to Power Options. 2. To the right of whatever power options you've configured click the link to "Change plan settings". 3. In the next menu click the li...

Hello Hitchhiker,


Thanks for your feedback.

When I am on the Power Options, for USB selective suspend setting, I only have:
Settings: Enabled.
I do not know have like you show the two options:
On battery: Enabled
Plugged in: Disabled
I use a desktop computer, and I assume that you use a laptop.

I have did this save several times but it simply does not "record" the change so each time I open, instead of being set to use SABAJ USB DAC, default is selected. I had done Preferences, Audio, Audio devices, selected SABAJ USB DAC (it shows as: Speakers (it showed as: SABAJ USB DAC) ($1,$...

Surely a dead simply thing to do but, with VLC, to me at least, nothing seems simple. Each time I open a video and audio file, I have to go to Preferences, Audio, Audio devices, to select my SABAJ USB DAC to be used as my default, not knowing for sure if default corresponds to this USB DAC. Is there...

Where kudos are due, they should be given profusely!! The only feature that truly mattered to me and that I have been waiting for years to see it appear on VLC is this resume playback feature, believe it or not! When I first installed VLC 2.2.0, the only and first thing I tried was to see if the pla...

I use the VLC media player 2.1.4 Rincewind (64-bit version) with Windows 7 64-bit ultimate. I have an Intel quadcore i7 processor at 1.6 GHz with turboboost capability and 8 GB of RAM. 1) I have been using several mkv video files and they were so pixelated when I ran them that I could not go on and ...

I assume you noticed that I did a typing mistake. Instead of: "Problem that I have: when the Firefox 26 browser is left opened, it prevents Windows 7 to go in a low power mode and blacken the screen after a certain period of time to save battery usage on a notebook.". I meant: "Proble...

Problem that I have: when the Firefox 26 browser is left opened, it prevents Windows 7 to go in a low power mode and blacken the screen after a certain period of time to save battery usage on a notebook. This issue had been solved at previous versions and yet strangely it reappeared at other subseq...

An INDISPENSABLE feature that is dearly missing: the VLC Media Player still cannot remember where a video or an audio file played previously was stopped in order to restart it at the same previous latest position. This feature is a very basic feature of any good media player and I am very surprised...

I hope it is the correct forum to post these issues; if it is not, my apologies, as I rarely post on these forums. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1) First problem that I ...

Remi, you are true to the first very bad experience that I got with you with your rude and very unhelpful comments!!! Basically, you are telling me that you do not take advantage of the valuable information provided to you for free on your forums by people who post on it and that you do NOT even tra...

If your bugtracker was so easy to use and to deal with and so quick and simple to use, I would have used it long ago!!!!!! Apparently, when I started posted comments on your forums years ago, I surely checked this bugtracker and I assume that seeing how much hassles I had to go through to deal with ...

Remi you say: "If you want something fixed, please provide a patch, pay a contractor to do it, or wait however long."!!!!! Extremely strange remark that you give me, Remi!!! And where am I supposed to inform you of bugs found? Or of suggested improvements?!! And I thought you were committe...

I have again to contradict myself! I am RIGHT concerning the screen power savings as explained in my first point! I redid a test and I confirm (contrary to what I have said above in a second post "I am wrong concerning the screen power savings.") that unfortunately my first point is fully ...

Update: I think I am wrong concerning the first point, as I tested again my notebook and the screen disabled normally after a certain time even when a VLC window was still opened.

--- First point and it is the main reason why I write these comments. This problem concerning the blocking of the power savings on a notebook has been on and off these past versions and it is really extremely annoying to see it appear again in the latest versions of the VLC Media Player, in particul...

I installed the latest Catalyst Control Center version, 12.8, for my graphics card. I reset to default the various options for it. And I installed all the Catalyst software provided, including the "AMD Media Codec Package". I did not install "HydraVision Package" that is just an ...

Hello Jean-Baptiste, I have the latest Catalyst version installed on my notebook, or at least a very recent one, it is Catalyst Version 12.6. Same, I have the latest driver for my graphics card (Driver Packaging Version: 8.98-120611a-141411C-ATI). It seems that this problem is more frequent than you...

Hello Jean-Baptiste, I give more details on the graphics card that I have, in case it would help. I have Windows 7 64-bit Ultimate with 8GB of RAM and, on my notebook, a graphics card ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5850 with 1GB of graphics memory (even able to use quite a lot of the available RAM) and a pr...

To ghoster08: I tried your suggestion but it had no effects at all at improving the viewing of this mp4 video file. (in Preferences, Input & Codecs tab, x264 profile and level selection that I changed, as suggested, from high to baseline). I really feel that there is a serious issue with mp4 vid...

Hello Jean-Baptiste, Sorry but in Preferences, Input & Codecs tab, "Use GPU accelerated decoding" was and is already selected!! Video quality post-processing level was and is at its default value of 6. There is an issue I believe. I gave you the name of the file and it is easily availa...
