1.0.2: Some WMV no longer plays audio

[stoneysilence]

Since I upgraded to 1.0.2 the other day some of my video files that are in WMV format no longer have audio. They work fine in WMP and they used to work fine in VLC prior to this update. Haven't noticed this happening in any other file format other than WMV.

Win7 Ultimate RC1 (64-bit)
VLC 1.0.2

If you need more info, just post and ask for it.

[Lotesdelere]

Reset preferences and cache.

[stoneysilence]

Did that. Still not working.

[Lotesdelere]

Please post the full messages log with verbosity set to 2.

[VLC_help]

Does it help if you disable and enable audio during playback (Audio -> Audio track)

[stoneysilence]

No, I tried that but it didn't work.

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

Can you share the file?

[stoneysilence]

Since it is a tv show I can't post it here, but I sent you a PM with a link to it so you can check it out.
