Hi Happy new Year.
I often play DVDs with VLC. With 0.9.6 and higher the graphic equalizer seems to be broken. I enable Preset "Flat". When I change the audio track from english to german or in other language, the volume is on "normal" niveau. I must open the Tools -> Extended Settings and disable and reactivate the graphic equalizer again. The check mark is already been set at enable when I open the extended preferences.
I use VLC 0.9.8a with Windows XP SP3.
I hope that you can understand what I mean.
