    What version of VLC? Have you tried uninstall and reinstall? (Delete the settings file when reinstalling) I suspect the settings file is corrupt.

    I haven't seen that yet. Make sure your display driver and mouse driver are current.

    Did you choose to delete the existing VLC settings when you reinstalled?

    Does the volume randomly and wildly change (considerably), or is it more of an equalizer type of effect?

    I've spent some time looking through the VLC settings, and I'm not sure if there are any that could be causing wild shifts in volume and aspect ratio... more so, as you did say you've reset the settings at least once. It might be a good idea to ask this question on the VLC forums as well (http://forum.videolan.org/ ); maybe the VLC devs will have a better idea what might be happening.
