FWIW: 14.04.3 x32, vlc 2.2.1: Using "Reset Preferences" in VLC recreates the problem. This would indicate that the default config exhibits it. And indeed, I initially hit the problem for the very first time after upgrading my machine from Ubuntu 12.04.x LTS to 14.04.3 LTS.
The fix suggested above (output module -> ALSA, Device -> PulseAudio Sound Server) still works. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/696841 Title: vlc stops playing audio after pause/resume or seek To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/vlc/+bug/696841/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
