VLC metronomously increasing pitch

synthead · 2008-10-13 10:13:28

So I got the new VLC ... pretty awesome interface, I really like it. The problem is that after a little while, maybe 30 seconds or so into whatever I'm playing, it'll slowly pitch bend sharp just veeeeery little for a second, then back to normal pitch ever so gradually. It's extremely subtle, but I work in an electronic audio production studio where I've been listening to perfectly tuned synths for seven years. Whenever I hear it, I get all queasy cause I think it's waaaaay off for those couple seconds. This happens about every 30-60 seconds, but I haven't timed it.

Anybody notice this? Anything I can try?

I Googled and found this near the bottom of that thread:

Current version when comment was posted: nightly
Woot, vlc no longer pitch shifts.
Just had to install the cpu_fix driver!

Cheers to mmlr for writing the driver.

I haven't experienced this in VLC, but then again I'm not a sound production pro like you are.
