7.1 channel audio in hevc does not work (crackling or no sound)
The bug is found on newest vlc version 2.2.6 - the video file plays but doesn't have sound or crackles.
I tried three nightly build 3.0 versions - 2017/05/15, 2017/04/30 and 2017/02/27, but none of them works.
My operating system is 64-bit Windows 8.
Not sure what other info should be provided, since I don't know what most of those technical terms mean in the bug report instruction. Can do that if asked.
The problem is not with the media files because it works in Potplayer in Windows without any problems.
I also had a similar problem recently with 6.1 channel audio file in hevc. I attach the bug report here. Not sure if these two problems are related. See #18378 (closed)
