Audio lag after video pause

Postby treelove » 20 Oct 2023 19:23

VLC 3.0.19 Windows 11
Whenever I pause a video and then resume, the video starts right up but there is a brief delay before the audio kicks in, creating a gap of lost information. At first I thought it may be a problem with my audio driver, but then I tried playing the same videos with other players (i.e., Windows Media Player, Windows Movies and TV). To my surprise, the problem does not appear – it is only on VLC that the problem appears.

Please open Tools -> Messages (set Verbosity to 2) before you start the playback, and then paste the full resulting log here or on Pastebin.com or on Justpaste.it if it's too long.

Also upload a short sample of your original problematic file to WeTransfer.com or Disroot.org and then post the link to the file here.

Please read my post again, carefully.
We need the FULL log, from the very beginning to the very end, AND a sample file.

I had the same problem.pay attention to this log "inserting 41022 zeroes",which cause no sound.
