Quite possible the strangest issue I've ever had to deal with.
I spent literally days troubleshooting to see if it was an iGPU issue, QuickTime issue, VLC issue. And as it turns out, my system:
- Z170XUD5TH
-6600
-RX580
-AUDIOENGINE A2+ speakers
If I have the speakers plugged in but turned off, quicktime returns a 101 Unknown Error. VLC opens up a file but it freezes on a frame.
I can reboot with speakers off, same issue.
Turn speakers on, reboot, issue goes away.
Has anyone ever had anything even remotely similar ? USB is plugged in via USB.
It's surely related to not having an audio output device present, but why?
