How do I fix this distorted audio?

[ToddAndMargo]

Hi All,

Fedora31, x64
vlc-3.0.9-22.fc31.x86_6

I am trying to play this video:
[url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8Tkyj_KS98[/url]

Problem: the audio comes out noisy/distorted, especially around 2:50. It does not distort on Payrol or Firefox. Vlc does not distort on other things not from YouTube. This seems to be a problem will all YouTube videos.

What am I doing wrong?

Many thanks,
-T

I can't hear any distortion with that URL.

It only distorts in VLC. How do I fix this?

So far I have tried removing VLC, deleting ~/.vlc, reinstalling VLC. No joy.

My point was that I cannot hear any distortion in VLC. It sounds the same as in the browser.

I have been told that by several folks. This mean there is something wrong with my set up. Browser play perfectly. Parole plays perfectly. VLC even play some of my older stuff perfectly too. So how do I go about fixing this?

Fixed it!

# = root; $ = user

# dnf remove vlc
$ rm -rf ~.vlc
$ rm -rf ./.cache/vlc
$ rm -rf ./.config/vlc
# mv /usr/lib64/vlc /usr/lib64/vlc.001
# dnf install vlc

Joy!
