VLC Media Player.

No I didn't see that link in your reply. But that wasn't what I was speaking about anyway - I was addressing the problematic item you saw in Device Manager.

Why you would look on the VLC website for a driver package for the "Multimedia Audio Controller" is a mystery however - VideoLAN almost certainly didn't make that piece of hardware in your computer. That's why I said (in bold) the manufacturer of the "Multimedia Audio Controller".

Anyway, if you're happy this is resolved we can let this thread die.

Just for the record, because I've had similar problems over the years, a corrupt audio driver can cause problems with a video file playing.

OK, I see what you mean.

I have gone back to the “audio problem” in Device Manager and the manufacturer is unknown, so I have clicked on “Reinstall Driver”. It says: - “The wizard has finished installing the software for: C-Media AC97 Audio Device”, and that yellow ? has gone away, it also appears to have installed more “devices” as there was only 2 items before but now there are 8 items.

Yes but the problem got fixed before I reinstalled drivers for the audio "problem, so not the audio driver.
