Sometimes when watching a video with VLC player the whole system freezes. That always happened so far when I scrolled through videos. When the PC freezes it takes like 20sek and everything continues in a normal manner. When running VLC in the terminal it shows:
[00007f494226cd98] mpgatofixed32 audio converter error: libmad error: Huffman data overrun
I could not find a solution online so far. My Debian is freshly installed an so is VLC. No options changed so far. Switching output modules from "automatic" to ALSA or pulseaudio doesn't help.
I have an Intel i3 8th gen. Graphics card is a GeForce 1050ti wih drivers from the official repository installed as described in the official Debian documentation. My motherboard is a MSI Z370M Mortar Intel Z370 with a ALC892 sound card. I use the optical out but without any options in VLC or passthrough or anything afaik.
You can add vlc version to the thread by running it with --version from cli. That might help people do research on the problem. Also trying another player and see if that helps. I heard the mpv is a good player, but haven't used it.
Your title says it's a video playback problem, but you seem to be thinking it is audio related instead? In other words, do audio files play correctly without the problem?
vlc --version

What about when playing video with audio output set to disabled? I have the same ver and video set for "OpenGL GLX video output (XCB)" and Accelerated Overlay checked, but you can possibly narrow things down by experimenting.
What kind of video files are causing the problem? If you can load one up that hangs and hit ctrl-i then look at metadata and codecs, that might help. All this and any info you can add will help people help you.
I seem to recall an update for libmad recently, so do you have the latest stable ver?

Sometimes I do use reportbug to gather info, read what it is going to send, and then abort. The thing is really good at gathering info from whatever dependencies and config files have been changed.
I still think you might have a general graphics problem, but it might help you to at least start a reportbug session and read it.
