VLC Stutters on 5.0.7

(1/2) > >>

R.M. Klippstein:
VLC 3.0.16 (and older) is chopped and stuttering. MP3's play fine using PM123 , but MP4's & MP3''s are bad using 1 Processsor and get much worse when the number of processors are increased. This is on 2 machines running Linux with 2 virtual installs of 5.0.7 on each one.  I've probably forgotten to do something basic but can't figure out what that might be. I've tried enableing VT-x/AMD-V but no help there. I'm using a Bridged connection but don't think thats a problem, DOOABLE works GREAT!

Thanks in advance for any ideas!    klipp

Use the SoundBlaster PnP for sound in the guest. It uses far less resources, and works a lot better than the alternatives.

R.M. Klippstein:
Well the ancient Soundblaster diver works fine except that I don't believe they had invented codes yet, Hence no MP4 or MP3.
I guess I need to go back to the Default sound driver that is selected during the install of 5.0.7. I don't remember how to do this without a complete new install. Could someone describe to me in detail how to do this?

Thanks   klipp

Huh? We have no hardware support for MP3 or MP4 etc, just programs that decode them into basically WAV which is then fed to the sound driver. There is the problem with the original SB that it only handled 8 bit sound instead of the usual 16 bit
