<span>hi there i have some files in .mkv and format and would like to to view them using vlc...the problem is that
there is only the sound in the background...by that i mean that i can
only hear for example the music that plays in the background and not
the people talking in the movie...subtitles and video are all displayed
correctly...i just cannot hear the people talking...when i watch the
files in kaffeine and kmplayer i have no problem at all...what might be the problem
with vlc?? thanks in advance...</span>
</blockquote></div><br><br></span>My inclination is that it is a vlc specific bug....check this page to see if you have it compiled with the use flag listed there: <a href="http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-gentoo.html" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">

</a><br><br>If you have it compiled with all of those use flags, then I&#39;d email vlc at <a href="http://video-lan.org" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">video-lan.org</a>: <a href="http://www.videolan.org/support/lists.html" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">
