Update 5.4.0 on Windows : no sound with all my videos

[nonobio]

Hi :)

I installed the Maik Qualmann version : as usual, the installer ask me 
to uninstall my actual version, i did it from installer and then it 
installed the new version.

I tried a first video : there is sound :) , but.. when i stop playback 
either by clicking on "thumb" button or "Echap", the last sound is 
repeated in loop : "oop oop oop oop oop oop oop oop .... ;)". I can only 
stop this looping sound by playing a new video or leaving Digikam.

Also, when i start a video for the second time, the sound is here but 
not good anymore, it is like a old disk with dust.

Voilà for the video issue.

I have anothers issues since i installed this new version 5.5 : i lost 
my custom toolbar (the most annoying) and a lot of settings are not 
translated in my language (french).

Thanks :)
