The VideoLAN Forums

Hi,

This bug is a little weird, cause I don't know how to reproduce it exactly.

Here is the facts: when I read a sound file, I press F8 for pause. And sometimes, when I press F8 again, the reading continues but there is no more sound.

And I need to make a Force Quit to close VLC.

Same problem. But I pause manually and then, after a few of these pauses (I am closely reviewing video files), the sound unexpectedly cuts out. VLC also seems to hang then because it will only force quit.

Me too.
Pause
No sound
quit (Hangs)
Force quit.
start again and it's OK.

EDIT:
A few mins later it crashed entirely:
Blank screen. Buzzing sound. Black screen.
Mac rebooted - the first time thatn has EVER happened.
Rebooted OK.
Restarted VLC and other apps.
ran OK...
Movie was The.Founder.2016.DVDScr.XVID.AC3.HQ.Hive-CM8.avi with subtitles: The.Founder.2016.WEB-DL.XviD.MP3-FGT.srt
Crash was at VLC -1:18:55 or so.

Hi, please before opening a new topic spend some time at least looking through the very recent ones:

Duplicate of https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=153358 and https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=153318 and https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=153620

So as already stated on the other topics, this is a known issue and should be fixed for 3.0.11 which will be released soon.
