Title: Problems with VLC 1.1.5 - Noise over MP3
Post by: miturbide on 2010.12.25, 00:17:40
Hi

I'm having a problem with the VLC port 1.1.5 available at hobbes.
I'm using eCS 2.0 and Uniaud 2.1.1  (Alsa 1.0.23) (recognized as HDA Intel - Mixer Realtek ALC888)
I had included the lib directory on the libpath as the install instructions says.

When I run the application the GUI shows, and I open a MP3 file. The MP3 start sounding very bad with a noise over it. I had tried the same MP3 with WarpVision and works fine.

The WAV files does not sound at all with VLC.

Any idea of what I'm missing?

thanks
martin

Hi Martin

What audio output settings are you using in vlc? - I find "K Audio Interface audio output" with Device: "DART" works best here.

Thanks for the pointer

It was on Default. I change it to "Simple DirectMedia Layer audio output" and started to play MP3 without that noise.

The K Audio Interface for Uniaud and DART is giving me also noise. Possible I'm missing something.

Thanks

Hi Martin

What we are all missing is a good working implementation of uniaud.

It may be worth trying earlier builds of uniaud to see if they work better - on my nForce430/MCP61 system the best uniaud to date is the uniaud16.sys from uniaud114rc6 with uniaud32.sys from uniaud32-1.9.2.zip.

Yes, I have tried the recent uniaud builds and found them lacking. A simple test is how fast does the Klondike Solitaire game deal cards: recent builds cause this game to deal cards very slowly indicating some sort of problem with these builds.
