    I've been having problems with audio skipping in VLC player and some game's cutscenes/movies.

    I've no idea what changed, but it was working just fine a week ago. I've tired to google my problem, but there is no fix to be found, just dead ends or unanswered threads.

    Help, please.

    Try using System Restore to a point before the problem started and see if that has any effect. As you may know you can always undo any restore if you don't like the results.

    Are you running 2.0.4? This update was released a few days ago and fixed issues like this. if you are, just go to the start menu, and search reset vlc media player preferences and cache, and then chose the VLC choice. You may have touched a certain setting by mistake

    Is the audio skipping while playing, too?

    I fixed it somehow. Uninstalled Quicktime and some other junk I had on, ran Malwarebytes, and a full virus scan.

    Glad you have fixed the issue! Quick time may have changed a setting, I also once lost audio because of a trojan, so I retarted and then bam a virus was detected and I couldnt boot up
