VLC not playing aac-Audio

Postby CheatingBoy6890 » 22 Jun 2024 23:04

Hi,
I recently bought a music Album with a Blu-ray that has 24 bit 5.1 DTS-Xll audio on it. I want to listen to this on my phone and also be able to connect my phone to the sound system in my living room to enjoy the 5.1 Audio. To do that I converted the the Blu-ray to mkv and the split in in the individual aac files of the tracks. Sadly when I tried to listen to the files on my phone with VLC there was no sound at all. BubbleUpnp (another music player for android) worked fine with the message: FFMPEG Wav 16 bit Audio.
On PC the VLC Player just makes some noise. Other Players on PC like mpv-media-player or celluiod (yes I'm using Linux) are working.
What do I have to change to make it work with VLC?

Thanks for your help

On the PC, please open Tools -> Messages (set Verbosity to 2) before you start the playback, keep this message window open during the whole process and then paste the full resulting log here or on Pastebin.com or on Justpaste.it if it's too long.

Also upload a short sample of your original problematic file to WeTransfer.com or Disroot.org and then post the link to the file here.

Here's the log:

Which file exactly do you want, I noticed that the mkv files with audio in aac codec worked, but the aac-Files without extra container didn't

In your log it looks like you have a problem with WASAPI which is named MMdevice in VLC:

Code: Select all

mmdevice debug: state changed: 1 main warning: playback too late (85312): up-sampling main warning: timing screwed (drift: 172646 us): stopping resampling main warning: playback way too late (215312): flushing buffers mmdevice debug: state changed: 0 wasapi debug: reset

Try another audio output module:

Try with DirectX Audio Output.
Don't forget to click on the Save button, then exit and restart VLC for the change to take effect.
