For the information of anyone having W11 hang issues, this audio setting solved my lock-up/hang issues on Win11 x64. Pretty sure it was the result of a Win11 Update….
For some reason VLC started immediately locking up after loading a video this week. It would load & show the correct time/length but freeze at frame 1.
No seek or jump possible; play/pause button frozen.
Tried the various troubleshooting tips for video buffers & hardware but nothing worked.
Additionally I found that it would only shutdown via taskmanager. It would close the window on X but remain running in the background.
Reinstall, clean reinstall & older builds all failed.
Seeing the MMDevice tip was the elusive solution, my thanks go to T0biasCZe
