VLC audio stutters

[Mr. Baggins]

When I play a DVD in VLC, the audio stutters continually, while the video runs smoothly. The same DVD plays perfectly on two other Windows operating systems. I have already tried changing the audio output module. I have the latest version (4.4.4); I believe it came out on August 27. I think that the new version is the problem because the DVDs were working fine on VLC before.

Any suggestions?

Does it help if you remove %appdata%\vlc folder?

I have the same problem when I try to listen to audio with my bluetooth headset. There is an interruption every second, very annoying. With other media players (Real, etc.) this problems does NOt exist. WHAT NOW?

rlbabb: this happens also with audio only files?

I think I have the exact same problem, dvds played fine with the previous version of VLC, then when I went to play a DVD and opened VLC, it said the newer version was available, so I installed it, and now the DVD playback is messed up on every dvd I try. The video plays just fine, but the audio stutters in a strange way, it's like the audio is compressed into shorter segments, so the sound plays faster in evenly spaced bits.

I can play .avi files fine, mp3, wav, seems it's just some bug in 1.1.4 messing up DVD playback. Adjusting the dvd cache does nothing, where is this %appdata%\vlc folder, might that help?

This sounds exactly like my problem as well.

Found the folder in question (C:\Documents and Settings\<Account>\Application Data\vlc), exited out of the app and deleted it. This actually helped, but it did not get rid of the problem entirely. I watch drumming DVDs on this computer, and the stuttering makes them almost useless to listen to. Deleting this folder made the solos easier to hear, but the stuttering still exists...
