VLC player no longer plays any audio after removing a virus!

Postby garyoak99 » 11 Oct 2015 05:11

I tried to download a video file but then realized too late that it was a fake file that was actually a virus! It infected my system but I got rid of it by using Malware Bytes.

The problem now is that it disabled my VLC player's ability to play audio so I can't hear anything whenever I play any video files!

What do I do now?

Delete all of the settings for preferences and the cache as instructed here: https://wiki.videolan.org/Reset_Setting ... s_from_VLC

I already tried hitting the button and even manually resetting preferences and cache but neither solution worked!
