Play MP4 on safari: the sound quality is good and normal
Play MP4 on vlc for iOS: the sound sounds terrible

Why is VLC messing with the sound? Please fix it.

Hi,

Are you experiencing this issue with a specific mp4 file?
If so, would it be possible to have the said file for testing purposes?

It looks like it’s any files MP4,mkv,mp3 etc.
VLC is not able to correctly play the file “as it is” untouched like safari does

Here is one of many that don’t play correctly only in vlc for iOS.

The main problem is the intro, it sounds “staticy” for lack of better word at the very start in Vlc 4 iOS.
Use headphones, I’m using Bluetooth.
