Hi, I have so really bad problems with sound using VLC and sometimes youtube too. It not happens with SMPlayer.
The problem is about a disturbing noise while using the program, its horrible and VLC becomes useless.
It happens with update 5, meanwhile i have been using update 4 if have not had problems.
Sry for my bad english i try to do my best.
If i dont find how to fix this problem i will be forced to unistall Linux Mint Debian Edition, and y dont want to do it...
Thanks for help

Does the weird sound occure all the time?
I have a similar problem but only when I skip forward or backward (with Shift + Arrow left/right).
I tried resetting vlc but it doesn't help.
A quick work around for me is moving the mouse. Can that be related?

Hi,
In Youtube happens hardly ever but in VLC always. It dissapears if i wait 10 or 20 or 30 seconds and dissapers too if i open other VLC file without close the first one.
I tried reinstalling VLC and reinstalling lmde and the weird sound continues there...

I'm getting this in VLC. I find playing with the volume control sometimes sorts it, but not always.

I have the same problem. Sometimes I adjusted the mixer and the problem gone.
In VLC sound preferences, change the output module to ALSA Audio Output.
This solved my problem in VLC, but I still can't enable alert and start up sound.

Does anyone know how to solve this issue? Kudos to the team for an awesome os, it was the first os that made me love linux.

I found another fix:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=920549
Code: Select all
Try adding tsched=0 to the load-module module-udev-detect line in /etc/pulse/default.pa so it reads:
load-module module-udev-detect tsched=0
Problem with that is that I have huge input lags in games like UrbanTerror.
I try the also thing now.
