Blu-ray audio being disabled

[ramicio]

If I play a disc, the audio is disabled. Choosing a track, the audio works. This is with a disc in the drive and using the AACS add-on stuff. If I play a disc that's been ripped already, the audio plays. I am trying to use this for the specific purpose of figuring out which audio track is what the menu chooses. If the player disables audio, I cannot accomplish this.

VLC version? Are you in no-menu mode?

[ramicio]

3.0.6. It's in menu mode. I need the menus to select the correct audio. There are a remastered track and original track. I have no idea which is which. So I figure I would select the one in the menu, and then see in the right click menu which audio it is playing. This is for The Twilight Zone show. I even tried backing up the disc decrypted and playing it off a hard drive. No change.

So, your issue is to know which one was selected in this specific bluray?

[ramicio]

Correct.

[ramicio]

Well, I can bring up the actual blu-ray menu during playback, and it overlays over what's being played. If I select the audio there it will play it fine. I wonder what the deal is that it wouldn't play it right off the bat. Oh well. I solved what I needed to solve. Thank you.

This is happening again. Totally different discs this time. It also happens if I seek around in a video.

This will be fixed in next version of VLC.

I too am seeing this.
Windows 10 (all up-to-date according to the update tool).
VLC 3.0.7.1

Insert Blu-Ray, open VLC and 'open disc'. Select Blu-Ray and play.
When movie starts, there is no sound. Check Audio menu and see the selected track is 'Disabled'.
Select appropriate track (usually number 1) and the audio starts.
Skip forward or back with time bar and the video starts from the new location but the audio reverts to 'disabled'.

One additional setting I have enabled is to auto detect Dolby and output it directly (very nice little addition), this causes the audio to take a while to come out after selecting the audio track. The audio is in sync, but takes time to detect. Not a big issue. The main issue is the audio track defaulting to 'disabled'.

[alex.j.ogle]

This is resolved (for me) by deleting the 32-bit VLC and installing the 64-bit version along with 64-bit Java to get the menus working.
Still on ver. 3.0.7.1.

FWIW, it's happening with the Linux build as well, and it is still there in 3.0.8. What I'm seeing is if the blu-ray disc splash screen has no audio track, then VLC will disable the audio. This might give the devs something to go on.

Jean-Baptiste Kempf: Why Does VLC AUDIO Track Start in the "DISABLE" SETTING????

I have exactly the same issue Alex.j.ogle describes and cannot find a way in settings to make VLC start the audio outside of the audio "Disabled" setting until I manually select the audio track. On top of that every time you advance the video, the audio defaults back to audio "Disable" again. This is frustrating and pointless. Hope the developers will take notice and fix it so when you start any video it defaults the audio to audio track 1. btw I am using Mac version 3.0.6 64 bit and the same issue occurs. Hope it can be fixed. Merci

Same issue here using VLC 3.0.11 and Windows 10 Home. Blu-ray disc starts playing with audio disabled. After enabling audio, manually moving to another point in the video disables audio again. Not a deal-breaker but annoying for sure.

Fixed with VLC 3.0.12!!! Blu-ray disc plays with audio and moving to another point in the video does not disable audio. Thank you!!!
