Sound refuses to play
For some reason, a day or two ago, VLC media player stopped playing sound. I made sure sound was enabled, but it still didn't work. I remembered today that I changed the sound to a wav output because I wanted to record the sound of a video or something, however, when I changed it back to the default sound output, the sound still doesn't play. Videos themselves play fine, but their audio won't. I am using 1.0.2 on Windows Vista. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

I've done that, and the sound still doesn't work. Restarting my computer didn't help either.
EDIT: On that note, a reinstall didn't work either.

Re: Sound refuses to play
Does it help if you rename vlc.exe to vlc2.exe?
Re: Sound refuses to play
Hmm, it does, thanks. Why doesn't it work with vlc.exe, though?
