Why one should not use VLC player

Recently many manufactures warned there customer not to use VLC media player, not informed yet, may be you are not even i was not until I called HP Customer care and asked what does "limited parts and labor warranty" means? they told that it means that if any software like "VLC" will damage your speaker, we are not going to fix it under warranty, wow, what, why not?! I didnt asked, why because once my friend told me that, boosting volume for large time CAN damage speakers.

Even when i was buying the laptop, the retailer was installing some softwares, but he didnt installed "VLC media player" I asked him to install, he said it will give error with HP.

Okay, its not only HP, if i will install Windows 7, linux or windows 8 pro, it will not give any error with VLC media player, because now its only a simple OS not provided by any manufacture so there will be no extra restriction or extra FEATURE provided initially, unless you find and install them again, yes you can.

Including HP, Dell also not fix speaker under warranty if you used vlc media player.

What Really Happens?

This what i asked to PC retailer and expert, he told me that there is a layer around speaker, which bursts out as soon as you boosts the volume, even a second is enough.

Okay, but Proof!

Now you must be thinking. what prove they got, good question. All the activities you are doing, not any personal data is being written somewhere and Authorized service man can easily access that, umm woman too!

Now what, thinking about to Install the whole OS again or restoring your PC to a previous date, No it will also not work, that data can not be erased like this.

Will not boost volume, promise!

Love VLC, actually me too, but i will suggest you to stay away from it, as if you will not boost the volume nothing bad will happen, but if why mistake it got then?
