I have VLC 2.2.2 on my Windows 10 desktop. On occasion while viewing a movie or TV episode the sound stops. Read through all the similar posts (all seemed to be over 2 years old) and tried the various solutions, none worked. Had to reboot the system to get it working again. Have had this same thing happen while watching a movie on my Windows 10 HP laptop. I keep the software and hardware drivers up to date on both devices. The laptop is only a year old.
Any help would be appreciated.
