VLC player mutes when seeking

In my Ubuntu 14.10, I have VLC 2.2.0 installed. I encounter this annoying problem that VLC mutes when I seek forward or backward through a video. I have to do few seeks backward and forward again to get the sound back. This happens almost all the time when I seek using keyboard or mouse. Is this a bug of VLC? or is this something else that I can fix?

Thank you.

I experienced this on two different distributions. The solution was, as suggested above but found experimentally, to switch to "ALSA audio output" module with "Default ALSA Output (currently PulseAudio Sound Server)" device. This worked for both. It changes no functionality since ALSA gets routed through Pulse anyway.

Note you may need to restart VLC after switching the output module and device and make sure there's no lingering instance (reboot to guarantee). Otherwise it's easy to think it didn't work.
