The VideoLAN Forums

I just installed the VLC player, but I'm getting a strange audio distortion on playback -- sounds like an old analogue tape being slowed down and sped back up to normal speed periodically. I'm also getting some digital pops that sound like clipping pops. Any ideas?

About the pitch: yes, it's a known issue awaiting for a fix:

About the noises: try another audio output module:
