Yes, @crate's answer worked for me.
VLC would mute or go silent after pausing. I went into Tools > Preferences > Audio. I had to change output module to ALSA audio output. But that, in itself didn't work. I had to then change device to HDA Intel, HDMI 0 HDMI Audio Output. Now it works great. Of course, you'll have to alter your device to what'll work on your rig. I'm running VLC 2.02 Two flower on Crunchbang Waldorf X64.
You have to change the output module in tools > preferences > audio from default to ALSA audio output. If sound does not play after that try tweaking the device option which is present below the output module. This worked for me.
All the best. :)
I changed the audio output to Pulseaudio audio output and it worked for me. No other option worked.
Yes, It worked for me as well , tools > preferences > audio from default to ALSA audio output. close your all file and re-open your video file through vlc. It will work only for VLC player. It is just a temporary solution. because for other media player this solution will not work. So, still this issue exist with other media player.
1I followed this tools > preferences > audio andh changed audio output to Pulseaudio audio output. After saving the setting i reopened the VLC player and it worked perfectly ok for me.
