No sound with AC3 files

Postby user0000 » 21 Apr 2018 16:41

Hello,

Since 3.0, 3.0.1 even daily nightly build and vlc 4.0 nightly build aswell there is no sound or a one second noisy strident sound (depending on vlc versions) while I try to watch tv shows or movies which contains AC3 audio.
However previous version of VLC (2.2.1) works fine.
My stereo system is connected via S/PDIF. My laptop does no have any issue.

What's wrong with S/PDIF and is there any fixes?

Thanks

New 3.0.2 version don't fix the issue, the strident sound when launching a movie which contains AC3 audio is gone but the voice are barely audible with high volume only and we can heard a parasite sound in the background.

The settings are all reset to default.

It happens with all movies/tv shows which contains AC3 tracks.
I am using the latest version 3.0.2, the loud noise when launching the file is gone but all we can heard with high volume is some kind of parasite like an amplified noise.
My stereo system (pioneer X-HM72-K) is connected via S/PDIF (toslink)

------------------------------------------------------

I found a workaround on a thread:

From "Tools" - "Preferences", click "All'.
Select "Audio" - "Output modules" - "DirectX".

use S/PDIF if available is unchecked

------------------------------------------------------

Is it a correct/right way to solve this problem?

From "Tools" - "Preferences", click "All'.
Select "Audio" - "Output modules" - "DirectX".

This just worked as well on my end to fix the same issue using vlc version 3.0.11

Thanks :D
