Lose of audio after Mac mini sleeps and wakes

Postby Tsurisuto » 31 Aug 2012 10:10

I am running VLC 2.0.3 and Mac OS 10.8.1 on a Mac Mini via HDMI.

When my Mac mini goes to sleep and wakes up, I seem to loose audio on any video file VLC was playing at the time.

The only current solution is to quit and relaunch VLC or disable and reenable the audio track in the VLC preferences.

This bugs been around for ages and I was just wondering if it's on the cards to be fixed?

The bug does not effect other media players like QuickTime or Media Player X, and I've tried deleting (completely) VLC and reinstalling it, but nothing has worked.

Any advice would be appreciated.

This is ticket 4834. I'll see if I can find a solution for that during this weekend's VLC hack event.

Just FYI: I was able to resolve this issue earlier today, so VLC 2.0.4 should behave correctly.

Thank you so much for the reply, but that ticket issue wasn't the issue I was experiencing / reporting.

Hopefully my issue will be resolved with VLC 2.0.4 too.

Well, it was failing for you for the same reason. Would you mind downloading a 2.0.4 pre-release build from this page to see if it's really fixed? I don't have a HDMI capable device here, so I'm not 100% sure.

Cool, thanks for testing!

Make sure to upgrade to the official 2.0.4 release once we're done to get additional bugfixes, etc.

Will do, as the current beta version of 2.0.4 (64bit) is very unstable and keeps crashing anyway.

I'll keep trying the nightly builds.
