Open your eyes -> viewtopic.php?t=10125
It`s marked in the top of this forum an will solve your problem!

I read this article, but im not sure i understood it right. i did it like in the discribtion, but it didnt work. i m not sure what to do with Advanced [x] (I dont know what it means.

preferences

----> Advanced [x]
-----> Audio
------>Audio Output Module (Choose Win32 waveOut extension output)
Save

This means you should enable, check, make an x in the white square before the word "Advanced" (lower right). Only if you have enabled these advanced settings you can change them according to the description.

If your Windows is not English, then the word Advanced and many of the other menu entries will be in your local language. So y<ou have to figure out which entries are meant. As far as I learned, it is not possible to change the language of VLC, even if you have choosen English when you are asked at the beginning of the install process. That's no bug, it's a feature
