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

Which format you are trying to Play.. ?
Share link .. i ll try in my Note..
is this a video you have encoded yourself or one you have downloaded?
It's a video i copy from my friend (Ice Age2), dont know if he rip it himeself, format mkv. It play perfectly fine on his mac and his Iphone4(lag). My flv file from "Digital Tutors - Creating Stylized Female Character Concepts in Photoshop CS5" dont have sound and cant render in hardware more either (mx video player). I think its the software render problem cuz I just down and watch VS show on my phone just fine ( no sound when switch to software mode)
The standard Videos app on the note doesn't do DTS-encoded audio. Could be your problem?
I followed NZTechFreak's advice from his reviews of the Note and got DICE player off the market - plays everything I've thrown at it and does hardware decode for almost everything as well. Also decodes DTS sound. For some reason seems to use software decode for wmv files though, where the stock app will use hardware for those as well.
Dice player work .
Hi all
SGS IV looks like complete s*it. So now the only thing that stops me from buying HTC One this year is format support. Heard that it can't hardware decode mkv, is it true? I dodn't mean out of the box but any player like MX or BS. They both have hardware+ decoders that may somehow help with mkv.
MKV is not a video format but a container so I guess it depends on what type of format it was encoded.
Regarding full video formats supported HTC said it is
3gp, 3gpp, 3gp2, mp4, avi(dix, vidx), h264, webm & WMV
I know mkv is a container, but h.264 video decoding is implemented in many previous htc flagship chipsets (e.g. in HTS One X), though mkv can't be hardware decoded on these devices even with 3rd party players (judjing by responses on One X). The same in apple devices. There are no apps that could simply on the fly demux mkv and hardware decode h.264 video stream. Are there anybody who already owes the device and could run the test with any 1080p rip or beter BD remux in mkv?

sorry I would like to revise my previous statement it doesn't support xvid, divx And yeah doesn't also support MKV. But Xperia Z does.
My stock video player won't play .mkv files correctly (no sound), nor will DicePlayer which I'm very surprised about.
MX Player works perfectly - in the Settings I have the video set to H/W and the audio set to S/W - and now my 720p .mkv files run buttery smooth and are pin sharp.

Well yes, that I figured out as well, that MKV, and AVI (divx-xvid) is not supported, but only those which are encoded with AC3
Because of this, some youtube videos are not played, or sorry..played but without any sound....furthermore, when I try to stream anything via DLNA (samsung allshare runs on the pc and or Router) then I cannot watch them...its kinda annoying....
do you have any solution for this? like installing codecs?
Thanks ...only because of this I would not choose the galaxy s4...and I dont want to convert any video I have...
Thanks !

Sure, I found out as well, but my main problem is:
When I am trying to play video on my HTC ONE using DLNA (which is hosted, operated on my PC) the videos which are using or coded with AC3
audio, they...just won't play....
As far as I know mxplayer does not have DLNA support....but correct me if I am wrong... and also what would you do with the youtube videos ?#
After contacting HTC, they just told me sorry these formats are not supported.... I hope it will be only a matter of an update...cause its kinda annoying that you can put any files on a galaxy s4 or galaxy s3...and just play it with the default app...
A little update on this... I manage to make an mkv movie play on the stock player. However the audio codec is not supported. So I think MKV is supported. DivX and Xvid are the only codecs that's not working.

well playing mkv, or avi is not an issue, but it plays without sound (due to the missing AC3) codec, mxplayer must be installed and its good to gooo with hw+ and its perfect, I even found a solution for the DLNA thingy.
Now I just need to get use to the camera, which is perfect on the display, but less perfect on the pc
MKV videos. Does the Xperia Z playback MKV videos in its native video player?
If not, if I install MX Player, would MX Player play back MKV videos?
If neither of the two above options work, and I convert a MKV video....what do I convert it to? And how will the converted quality compare to the orginal MKV file?
Thanx very much for any help/anecdotes.

1. Google (or a search on XDA) is your friend, and searching before asking is an XDA rule.
2. Another rule is "No Questions in the General section". Thread reported.
Pretty sure the Z can natively play MKV's, if not MKV's will definitely work with MX Player
It's funny how some people care more about reporting threads than actually answering the question...
Wrong section or not - yes, stock Movies app does support MKV files.
Several people have recommended MX Player as the best app for playing back MKV video files.
Which apps are Xperia Z users using with good results?
Is an additional app necessary, or does the Xperia Z playback MKV videos on its own?
On the other hand, if MKVs can't playback at all...what video format should I convert them to?
Many thanks for any advice/anecdotes.
Sony's stock app can play MKV files so you don't really need any 3rd party apps.
MX Player is the best app to play every possible format - honestly, i've never seen a file that MX cannot play. Think of it as of VLC.
MX Player is the best one, be sure to enable the HW+ decoder in settings. It allows you to play nearly any video with hardware acceleration (and Bravia Engine).

How are you managing to do this? The Sony go software recognises the mkv files but always trys to convert them during transfer. Sometimes showing as 3 or more hours to copy 1 file

Just copy without converting. It will work fine.
The stock player is quite good but isn't compatible with the audio CODECS in some MKV containers.
I find Dice player the best at the moment. It plays everything i give it.

i'll give it a try, been using vlc instead and its pretty decent.
when i did try to copy across without conversion the stock app says unsupported file. it does it for some of my mp4 videos aswell
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.

@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.

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.
