Hi,

I've encountered this bug with VLC Version 3.0.11 Vetinari (Intel 64bit) on macOS 10.15.6 (19G73)

When I read a .wav or .mp3 audio file (here an interview I recorded with my phone). I need to type informations and regularly pause, jumps forward or backwards (with the left/right arrow keys).
If I jump backward while the file is playing, I have no problem.
If I jump backward while in pause, VLC will play without sound. Then if I immediately jump forward it sometimes recovers and I can again jump backward. Sometimes it can also just freeze vlc and I have to force quit.

Has anyone encountered something similar ?
Is this a known bug ?

Thanks,

O.

I am having a similar problem. In addition to freezing/no sound when jumping from pause, I am also getting this issue when jumping while file is playing.

Running macOS Catalina 10.15.5, VLC version 3.0.11 Vetinari (Intel 64bit).

I've tried reinstalling VLC to no avail.

I'm having the exact same problem. can't fix it for the life of me. whenever i scroll the video it still plays but without sound, soon after it crashes

macOS Catalina 10.15.6

Hey everyone. I use macOS 10.14.6 and believe I have been running into the same issue. To reproduce:

• Play an mp4
• Pause
• Navigate to anywhere else in the track (move the slider anywhere else)
• Play (press play again) --> No sound, Sometimes crashes (requires Force Quit)

I was digging around on the VLC Bug Tracker and believe that this issue has been resolved/fixed for the next version of VLC. See ticket 24876 (https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/24876). However, this doesn't help current macOS users of 3.0.11. In truth, I do not know when or if 3.0.12 will be released as an update. I guess you can get this fixed if you download one of the nightly source code releases and compile VLC yourself. But I'm not skilled like that. I need DMGs.

So what am I doing now for playing music? I removed 3.0.11 from my computer, and downloaded the DMG for 3.0.10 (https://www.videolan.org/vlc/releases/3.0.10.html) and will be using older release: 3.0.10 until the next release of VLC.

Hope this helps!

This was a bug supposedly fixed in the 3.0.11 update - but it seems it wasn't fixed fully, as it still happens - but not as often. Ive only seen it once in about a week, before it was all the time.

Hi @hukxchen and thanks for the useful information. I checked with the last nightly build of the 3.0 version (https://artifacts.videolan.org/vlc-3.0/nightly-macos/) and the bug seems fixed so that's great news.

How to know when a bug fix will be released ? Where is the information on the release roadmap ?

Thanks,

O.
