Randomly No Audio On Launch
Posted: 28 Jul 2013 04:28
About 1 time out of 10, when I open a media file (movie or music) while VLC is closed, there will be no audio on launch. If I close the play window, and open the file again, there will be audio: so, this problem has nothing to do with the contents of the file, it's just a VLC initialization bug. It happens rarely and only during launch, but it happens. In my log window, I see:
I have Mountain Lion (10.8.4) on a recent Mac mini. I am using VLC 2.0.7 Twoflower (Intel 64bit), but versions prior to 2.0.7 also exhibited this problem.
