I have had this problem since installing the MX 23.5, but only lately it has started bugging me off. Every time when I pause or rewind in VLC, whether it was audio or video, the audio stutters 2-3 times after I continue playback and then it continues normally.

Now I upgraded kernel to 6.12, but VBox does not like it. I had version 7.0 of VBox installed from MXPI so I removed it and manually installed the 7.1, but it did not help.


VirtualBox can't enable the AMD-V extension. Please disable the KVM kernel extension, recompile your kernel and reboot (VERR ...
