I upgraded to version 1.0.1 this summer, and since then I cannot play videoflies, audiofiles or DVD:s with VLC on my laptop. The sound is so distorted its unintelligible. Music is even worse.
I uninstalled, downloaded a new copy (same result), then I downloaded 1.0.5 - I still have the same problem. Upgraded stuff, changed all settings and resources I could think of. Nada.
To give you an idea, anyone speaking sounds like a prawn from District 9. (Or a geonosian from TPM. Eeek.)
This laptop doesn't have any flashy sound (it's what I believe is called on board audio) but I have no problem watching and enjoying any moviefile /DVD using other software (anything from Real to PowerDVD; Mediaplayer, playing iso:s on virtual DVDplayers) nor do I have problems with streaming media from the web, Flash, Quicktime, anything embedded on websites.... it's limited to VLC.
Is there any solution, or is the earlier version (0.9.?) available for download anywhere? I cant find it. It worked perfectly from day one, with excellent sound and video quality, and I miss it...
Most grateful for any helpful hint (on a not too far advanced level).
