VLC media player for Windows Troubleshooting • Laptop vs Desktop Issue with Sound



Hi All,

I do hope that someone can help with the following as I have been racking my brain over this and can’t find an answer.

So I have been going through my old VHS tapes and thought that some might be worth keeping as the content is not available online (lots of old documentaries). So I have transferred them to DVD using my blu ray recorder and I am able to play it on my Dell laptop which is running Windows 10 Pro. I have used VLC and I am able to play with picture and sound. I then place the same disc into my desktop computer and I am able to see the picture but I do not get any sound, however if I place a commercial DVD into my desktop I get sound. The Desktop is also running Windows 10 Home. I try to play using VLC thinking that it might be better with this programme on the desktop and same result, no sound. However I get the sound on laptop. I have then extracted the video to a file using VLC on the laptop and I am able to see and hear it fine so thought that I can then use this file on my desktop to then enhance the quality, denoise etc. However on the desktop I get no sound still and from this file that I have created. The main purpose for using desktop is its the better PC and requires this sort of processor to handle the encoding, can’t do this on the old laptop.

So I am stumpt before I take this into something like Premiere Pro I need to get the sound working first so I can enhance this also in Premiere Pro. Nothing to enhance if I can’t hear anything.

Any thoughts?
Regards,
Richard Parsons
