It is rev 4464. Sicksalad had successfully tested the last but one (2013-06-12)SVN clsid generic build (Wiki).

I 've updated the k-lite codec Pack to version 8.95 (KernelEX comp mode XP - during installation I set all to ffdshow). It has installed with some errors, but in the end successfully. Now the file plays. And without stuttering. System: ME / Pentium 630 Prescott / Creative SB 128 PCI / Gomplayer 2.1.50 Log: ====== GomPlayer Log File ====== ***************************** TITLE : 2L50SACD_tr01_stereo_192kHz.flac Filter List : 1.

filehorse http://www.filehorse.com/download-gom-player/ I already tried wave out. This setting didn't change anything. I guess, in the view of that Gomplayer immediately crashes, the log file remains empty, if I try to play the 24-bit/192 khz flac file. 16-bit/44,1 khz flac files are played without problems.

I 've successfully installed Gomplayer unicode versions 2.1.47, 2.1.49 and 2.1.50. All these versions are running here as good as 2.1.43 with the K-lite cdec Pack 5.83. For the installation I've to fake the OS in the registry. http://kernelex.sourceforge.net/wiki/Installing_programs Also these newer versions don't play the 24-bit/192 khz flac file. I get an runtime error.

For whatever reason I also already noticed that float32 of this version is disabled by default for directX. You can use InCtrl5 to compare the installation of 2.1.0 with another version. We noticed that the specific 24-bit/192 khz flac file will only play on 98/ME with "audio output modul" "wave out". You have to set it manually for 2.1.0 and 2.1.1. The setting takes effect after restart of the player. It doesn't matter on my test system if float 32 is enabled or disabled. In your case, I think the problem has more to do with the sound card. Do you have the possibilty to check it with another soundcard or on another system?

Hallo Joe, I already unsuccessfully tried different versions of the dbghelp.dll some month ago. Since then, I haven't inspected the problem anymore. Newer file versions prevent the message (something like: "The DBGHELP.dll is too old"). But Foxit still crashes in order to print. I don't know enough to understand the crashlog. Are you able to interpret this log file?

VLC only play the file with waveout here and not with DSound, even though I set vlc to 2K and the output module to directX. It always switches to wave out. Tested with 2.0.5, 2.0.6 and 2.0.8.

Yes it works. Test system: ME / Creative SB 128 PCI / Celeron 440 Conroe-L (SSE2,SSE3,SSSE3) Modules Tree (Tools > Messages): First image: ModulesTree ME 2.1.1 directX on the right: ModulesTree ME 2.1.1 Wave out and below: ModulesTree XP 2.1.1 direktX

The default setting for the audio output modul is automatic. VLC 2.1.1 try to play the (24-bit/192 khz) flac file with DirectX audio output, whereas 2.0.8 switches to the waveout audio output. 2.1.1 plays the file, if I manually select the waveout audio output. This explains why 2.1.1 loads the DSound.dll and 2.0.8 don't.

Procedure: I used the ProcessViewer. Saved the modules list as txt file and sorted the modules with Word alphabetically. DSound.dll is loaded by version 2.1.1 and it isn't loaded by version 2.0.8. And there are a lot of differences with loaded Lib....Plugin.dll's between these versions. Loaded modules 2.0.8: Loaded modules 2.1.1:

VLC 2.1.1 Tools > Messages: directsound error: cannot open directx audio device main error: module not functional main error: failed to create audio output

Hallo Nomen, I tried to play a (24-bit/192 khz) flac file of 2L.no with different versions. I only tested on one machine yet (Creative SB 128 PCI). Vlc versions 2.0 - 2.0.8 play the file on ME and XPSP2. Versions 2.1.0 and 2.1.1 don't play it on ME. confirmed But they play it on XP SP2. So the problem seems related on 98/ME. All tests performed with default settings. All versions are available on http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/.

Probably the bug will be fixed with version 2.1.2. https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=115231

I've done two more tests with version 2.1.1. The first configuration: Vista SP1 / soundchip is the integrated Via VT1708 High Definition Audio controller. The second configuration: XP SP2 / onboard chip is the Realtek ALC 888s. The result is I get the same poor audio quality again when playing flac. The same here. It doesn't matter on my systems. Of course it runs without installation. Accidentally my flac test files are Acoustic Alchemy, too.

VLC 2.1.1 on another machine (VIA VT1612A @ VIA AC'97 Enhanced Audio Controller PCI onboard): Flac is rendered with that nasty sound, too. The other formats I tested seem to be ok, also mp3. There's no problem with Flac using version 2.1.0. I performed the tests with default settings.

VLC 2.1.1 released: http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/2.1.1/win32/ There are a lot of changes and fixes. Now flac is rendered ugly for me. I get the same poor audio quality when playing flac on XP SP2 on the same machine. So I guess the reason is the old soundcard (Creative SB PCI128 (Ensoniq ES1371) PCI) or a new bug.

Yesterday I tried some nightly builds 2.1.1 and 2.2.0, unfortunately without success to run them. http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/win32/?C=M;O=D Error: Vlc causes an error in Libvlccore.dll I haven't examined the problem more closely yet.

No, it doesn't. But K Meleon Twin+ still runs with Gecko engine 1.9.2 http://kmeleon.sourceforge.net/forum/read.php?1,123763,page=1 (last K-Meleon Twin+ build with some little additions| Updated 11.11.2013!) MSFN Topic: http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/158952-newer-version-of-k-meleon-just-released/

After three or four repetitions and reboots the problem seem to be gone.

My setting for float32 is enabled (default). High-quality float32 audio output isn't well supported by some soundcards: https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=48799 https://wiki.videolan.org/Documentation:Modules/directx_aout/ https://wiki.videolan.org/Documentation:Modules/waveout/

I assume that your problems still persists. Did you try a clean install (delete preferences and cache)? Did you run after uninstall a registry cleaner? Vlc 2.1 runs on all of my machines without these problems (default settings). The player doesn't need external codecs. Probably it works best with the internal codecs. Maybe there is an incompatibility with another app. https://wiki.videolan.org/VSG:Audio:Crackles/

A workaround for the current session. It works here only until reboot. I added a second theme (here vista aero), loaded it and then FF looks fine. Then I changed the theme back to default.

You must choose compability mode XP for the installation, but don't run VLC Player with that mode . KernelEX is enabled (default) should work . You also have to replace the msvcrt.dll by msvcr70.dll (see Wiki).

I also have this problem, but only on one machine ( KernelEX 4.5.2 ). It isn't very important for me. Usually I prefer Opera. Sometimes I run FF 9.01 with the HyperBK plugin (history and bookmarks alternative). It isn't slower than 3.x here. There are probably only a few affected systems out there. FF 4 and higher isn't affected. About the problem has been reported here in the KernelEX topic. AFAIK it isn't solved. The next days I'll check it again. There was already a bugfix > KernelEx v4.5 RC 4: Fixed: missing background colors and images in Mozilla Firefox 3.6.9/3.6.10

Some days ago I searched for older versions of QupZilla, but I didn't find any useful windows version. Only current versions 1.3.5 (one year old) and newer. I also had no success to run it.
