Fixing video playback issues with VLC Media
Player
We are going to fix the chopping, skipping and stutter of the audio
with VLC Media Player that sometimes is experienced.
First, open VLC and go to
Tools > Preferences. (CTRL+P
for those who cant find it)
Hit the Audio tab and change Output: Type to Pulseaudio audio
output;
As shown in the picture below:
Now, change the Show settings option to All and go to
Input /
Codecs > Access Modules > File ;
Change the caching value to 1500 (there are 1000 milliseconds in a
second), 1200 should be okay as well.
You can adjust this a little higher or lower later. As long as it's
1000 or above, it should be fine.
