I am sure that has to do with 5.1 surround coming from the DVD. If you have a 2.0 sounds system you will have to tell VLC to downsample the channels to 2.0. If you are using pulseaudio you have to tell pulse that you only have 2 speakers. I am sure that you have a 5.1 surround card and that is what it is trying to use. There's a little investigating to it all but I am sure that it won't be hard to figure out. -- Willie Matthews [email protected] (702) 659-9966
