VLC Media Player is an open source multimedia player for various audio and video formats. If you are having a strange clipping/choppy audio when playing any media files in VLC Media Player, try change the output setting for audio.

Open VLC Media Player and go to Tools > Preferences. Click Audio (1). Change the output type to something else (I recommend you use ‘Win32 waveOut extension output’ (2)). Restart your player and see if the audio is still clipping/choppy or not. Hope this helps you.
