Which media player you are using to play sounds ? I mean in some players you need to select the track audio !! well, if you are using stock player than try downloading some other players like vlc,real, etc.

Hey Michael,

Here are some options I can suggest:

  • Some mkv's have multiple audio channels, click on the musical note icon in the upper right while playing your video to try another channel.
  • Try an alternate player, like BS Player.
  • If it is a .mkv file, convert it to mp4 using Handbrake.
  • turn on S/W audio under the decoder setting

Hopefully one of these will work for you! :)

I've already tried 2 other players and it's the same in the video details it says it's a mp4 file already also I have tried the music note and switched from hw to sw and hw+ and still no sound when there was before just baffles me lol
