#Vlc media player safe mode' how to#

Would really appreciate any help or ideas what could be causing this issue. My specs: motherboard Z170A GAMING M5, nvidia geforce gtx 1060, 16gb ram, windows 10, using the onboard sound. This video player (for Windows 10/11) plays almost all codecs with no codec packs needed.

It can play DVDs, CDs, 360-degree videos, and videos from any media file or device, including VCDs, webcams, and streaming protocols. could it be that my normal headset is faulty? is it my drivers (i tried different ones already) or is it the motherboard onboard sound? VLC Media Player is a free and open-source video player for Windows 10/11, Mac, and Linux/GNU. using an old USB headset also fixes the problems. i also tried booting in safe mode and it seems that in that case VLC also plays videos without the strange delay at the start, even with my headset plugged in. When i unplug my headset (HyperX Cloud Revolver stereo ), videos in VLC play fine without any delay. after noticing the problem i updated my graphics drivers which did not help, and uninstalled my audio drivers, restarted, windows then installed some audio drivers, did not help. I made no recent changes to drivers or hardware. On a i think related note: when someone sends me a msg on steam, i see the little window pop up, but the sound from the msg gets played seconds after that. in windows media player it takes a couple of seconds to load a video (player is up, windows loading symbol instead of mouse cursor, after ~5s it will play without delay but with crackling audio in the beginning). VLC is available for Windows, Mac, iPhone, and Android platforms.

using chrome canary: strange delay at the beginning of loading a stream, then audio crackling, then it runs fine. This wikiHow teaches you how to install the free VLC media player on your computer or smartphone.

using firefox: videos basically run with 0.1 fps and no sound. after a couple of seconds it starts and for the first second, audio is distorted/crackling. video on youtube: although the video loads perfectly (the bar that indicated how much of the video is loaded is way ahead) the video will not start playing right away and instead only show the first frame. after a 2-3 seconds it will run normally. video in VLC: starts for a split second, then stops. Since today whenever i play a video, there is a strange delay before it starts.
