I just observed the same issue in Ubuntu 14.04.1 with VLC 2.1.4. I don't know where the problem originates from (whether VLC or sound subsystem) but I was able to work around it by setting the audio output of VLC (Tools->Preferences->Audio) from "Automatic" to "ALSA audio output".
Setting it to "PulseAudio" as it apearently worked for "firesock" did not work for me. -- 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/ubuntu/+source/vlc/+bug/696841/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
