VLC lags when playing HD videos, but not if I turn off audio

[Lacey_]

Sometimes, when I play 720p or 1080p videos with VLC, it lags to the point that I can't watch the video at all. However, if I turn off the audio on these videos, it plays fine. I've tried adjusting the caching rate and several other fixes I've found around the web, but nothing seems to work. Help?

Have you tried a new or old version?
