I'm getting random audio blips when I play MKV files on v2.2.1 64-bit. I have tried the suggestions in the "Crackles, pops, hizzes and other audio anomalies" section of the wiki. I'm looking for some more ideas and suggestions.
Well since no one wanted to help me (you guys suck!), I played with a couple settings and I think I found the solution.
1. Open the preferences and click All to show all settings.
2. Search A52.
3. Click on Audio ES.
4. Change the Frames per Second to 23.97
5. Restart VLC
I'm not having this problem. I did have short 1/4 second mutes during playback on the 32 bit version. Have you reset all the settings to default to start? That helped me and I hate doing that normally.
I'm normally not here but someone should have helped without you having to plea. Small forum views in general here but mods need to at least chime in with a link or an i don't know...
I've never had to, but installing the K-Lite Codec Pack looks to have solved the problem. I'm still doing some testing, but it looks to have fixed the problem.
When I installed the Mega pack, it said it was uninstalling a bunch of already installed codecs that I never installed. I could only think that VLC had installed them. Nonetheless, my testing is going well so far.
Ok, so I'm still getting the blips. This is frustrating. The weird this is, if I stop the file and re-start the file the blips are gone. They only appear on the first pass. I can play 5 minutes of a video, stop it and re-start it and there are no audio blips anymore, even on the parts I never played.
Still having the audio blips. Having done more investigation, it seems to be when playing MKVs (H264 - MPEG-4 AVC) with A52 Audio (aka AC3) audio codec.
