Sound dropping out, debug message: "Output is Starving"
Posted: 04 Jul 2010 04:16
I recently upgraded my computer and reinstalled Windows. I am using XP Pro SP3 and VLC v1.1.0
I have a problem with most video files where the sound cuts out intermittently.
Looking at the debug log, I see:
The videos that Windows Media Player can play and has codecs for work fine, but in VLC the same files have issues.
I tried playing the files in Mplayer and I had the same dropout issues. I expect they are caused for the same reason, so it must be a commonality between Mplayer and VLC.
Is there a likely cause for this kind of problem?
