The VideoLAN Forums

The default volume is pretty low. It used to be that if you turned the volume up all the way, you'd hear distortion. Now, the audio is so low that even at 200% it barely sounds like 100%. I've set the volume in the Audio Preferences but it's still too low.

Any suggestions?

You set volume or QT4 volume?

AC3, no?

You set volume or QT4 volume?

AC3, no?

I'm afraid I don't know what QT4 or AC3 means, lol!

Please explain.

AC-3 is dolby digital, an audio codec, mainly found in DVDs

Also common in Warez movies.

And what's QT4 Volume?

I also just realized what's been happening:

it seems the audio channels are either constantly switching or something. I've checked my speakers and they're working fine. I also played files with WMP and they sound fine as well.

So this leads me to believe it's something in my VLC configuration.

Volume you set in QT4 interface is different from core volume, but if channels are switching or glitching constantly then issue isn't volume level thing. Could you share us short sample file that can be used to replicate the issue?

Yeah, I'll upload something soon and post a link.

The reason I say it seems like the channels are switching is because the levels are constantly going up and down within songs.

We'll see.

No problems with Santanta. Does it help if you change audio output module?
