Losing sound when unpausing VLC

Postby mastump317 » 22 Dec 2020 00:09

I've had this trouble on and off with more than one version of OSX.
Basically what happens it that I will start-and-stop during a video to take notes. And at some point when I try to restart again I lose the sound. The only way I can fix it is by completely restarting VLC, then manually finding the video I was playing,and manually going to the place I left off at.
I love VLC because the keyboard controls are sooo much easier than Quicktime, advancing forward or backward in 10 second intervals; they really allow me to skim through or speed up a slightly slow video. This convenience has made VLC my video player of choice for better than a decade.
Until now. I m Running OSX 10.11.6 and using VLC 3.0.10. I've searched the forums and can't find a solution, so I thought I'd post here and see if anyone else has had this problem.
Thanks in advance!

Same here with OSX 10.13.6 and VLC 3.0.11.
Tried it with other file formats as wav or m4a. After pressing the Play/Pause button the timer in the player continues to run, but there is no sound. Player can only be terminated with forced quit. I hope there'll be a fix soon. Thank you!

This should be fixed with VLC 3.0.12, which will be released in the next days.
