Was hoping to copy all my itunes drm free AAC music to my sdcard, but I find that AAC won't play in the stock player. I don't want to convert everything to mp3 so what's the solution? Searching in Market didn't turn up anything likely.
Thanks!

Android does not support the AAC container format. You can play them if you make them into m4a files which is essentially AAC.
Hey guys,
Just wondering if anyone else has tried playing .mkv video files and also get no sound?
Does anyone know why either?

Yes with stock video player, I have this issue. But, you can always play with a another player e.g. MX Video Player, it works flawlessly.
Mx Video Player also can`t play the audio file for some mkv files, only when using software decoding. I think it`s because the stock video player doesn`t know the audio codec used and doesn`t have support for software decoding. But yea, using an alternative video player should work.
BSPlayer free,does it with dts as well
Using DicePlayer atm, very good, audio plays, but sometimes the audio isnt correct and makes a high pitch sound, i'll try out the other players soon

It's not a "fresh" topic for playing mkv on Android device like this Xperia z no sound output. Some people have recommend a pile of video players like MX player, Dice player, etc and some others recommend to decode/encode the MKV files to a common video files like MP4 for easy playback. I think the no audio issues mainly depend on the DTS audio codec contained in MKV files, which is not easy to handle for most of the android devices. I'm the Xperia Z user, and have some other files like AVI, FLV, MPG and VOB files to Xperia Z for free playback on the go, so I choose to get a video convert tool to fast reformat these files to a Xperia Z favorable format that won't come up any problems. I found the way to put MKV videos to Xperia Z without any audio issue from Goolge.

Forget P.O.S. spyware apps like Brorsoft...
Avidemux, on the other hand, is brilliant.
bsplayer free did the trick for me
if you're using MX player , unmark the use hw decoding tick and you'll have sound
Hello,
Bad surprise for multimedia user like me : there is no more support of AC3 audio format and other codecs :
Galaxy tab 7.7 :
audio : MP3, AAC/AAC+/eAAC+, WMA, FLAC, AMR-NB/WB, Vorbis, AC3, EVRC
vidéo : H.264/H.263, MPEG-4, VC-1, WMV7, WMV8, Sorenson Spark, MP43, VP8, HEVC
Galaxy tab S :
audio : MP3, OGG, AAC, AAC+, eAAC+, WMA, WAV, FLAC
vidéo : H.263, H.264, MPEG4, WMV
Bad, yes. Surprise, no. They've been gone for almost a year starting with the N3.

Look for MX Player in Google Play. Publisher is J2 Interactive. I use it together with the hw decoding codecs and I can play everything including DTS audio, etc.
Thanks. What codecs you recommend?

@celtichazard, "REPRODUCTOR MX" ?
The problem is Mx player use sofware decoding (for Ac3 or dts audio) and use much more battery than the stock player with hardware decoding.
H/W+ Decoding still not playing M4V video

I downloaded the MX Player plus all of their Reproductor MX (MX Player Codec ARMv5TE, ARMv6VFP, ARMv7NEON) but the video is still not playing at all even it's already changed to H/W+ codec, would you please share more detail process on how did you do it? Thanks.
VLC has the most codecs I've found. More than mx pro

My vote goes to VLC too. It's still in beta but its good enough to be prime. The best video player for windows and mac.

maybe you already knew about this, but just download these files and the stock video player now plays AC3 sound just fine.
http://www20.zippyshare.com/v/64965084/file.html
just put the media_codecs.xml in the etc folder and libsac3d.so and libsomxac3d.so in the lib folder, then reboot the tablet
BSplayer has been able to hard decode every codec you can think of for several years now on sammy devices, stereo and multi channel, if plays everything I have thrown at it from AVI to MKV to MP4 in all sorts of different formats, even on their free version, there really is nothing that can touch it, it even has network access.
Once you have discovered this player the discussion ends, this will be everything you will ever need.
Hi Guys,
is there a lib for DTS audio?
I did try @[email protected] solution for AC3 and it works flawlessy, Thanks! :good:

Hi da.trute,
I was a fan of BSplayer too, I even bought the pro version, but on the Tab S 10.5 (S 805) I notice a lot of micro stuttering in hardware accelerated mode.
I had to go with MX Player and I can say it is much smoother (H/W+ enabled).
I do miss the internal SMB support of BSPlayer, but I flashed the excellent SkyHigh TW Kernel 1.9 by @UpInTheAir and now I can mount my SMB shares from my NAS with CIFS Manager.
I can use then the internal playlist function of MX Player (play next randon movie basically) as all the files in the SMB share mounted by CIFS Manager are considered local files.
BSPlayer PRO is still working great on my Note 10.1 (2012 version).

i've not noticed anything, i can play 20 gig MKV rips over wifi form my server down starirs to my bedroom through several walls and mine are buttery smooth.
MX used to have issues withg AC3 summing to stereo, assume this is ok now?

It is probably only due to my specific configuration. .
AC3 and DTS audio seems to be ok, but I have not tried listening with headphones so I'm not sure about proper stereo downmixing.
Anyway I'm on stock 4.4.2 ANF6 build with a custom skyhigh kernel and MX player is buttery smooth.
I can play mkv 1080 files perfectly (roughly 8gb) and my extensive collection of series and cartoons (mostly in xvid sd) plays fine.
God knows. .

Hi guys,
as soon as I froze ANT+ stuff, BSplayer came back to life again!
Now it is buttery smooth, and frankly, better than MX Player.

Has anyone been able to figure out how to play videos with AC3 audio inside Gear VR? When I play such (2D or 3D) videos, the video plays fine but there is no sound and I get a pop-up that the audio codec is not supported. In non-Gear VR mode, the stock video player can play such files with video only but the BS Player app can play such files just fine with both video and audio.
Since most of my videos have AC3 audio, it is a real pain if I have to convert the audio every time before copying such video files from the PC to Note 4 SD card.
Thanks,
Osho
I have read that ac3 codec is no longer included in factory rom because licensing fees. I think the only way would be to reencode movies to files with sound natively supported by Note4

Until Oculus or another developer includes more audio codecs, Gear VR supports only AAC and mp3 audio for now.
With Virtual Dub you can easily and fast convert your movies tho, when you set video to passthrough and only the audio to convert. Takes only a few minutes to convert a movie then.
Sounds easy enough but would you so kindly post slightly more details to doig this in virtual dub? (Not a bioshock reference)
