Hi!
I have the samsung galaxy s, and i've got a question about the phones audio formats..
I was going to watch the movie Inception on my phone. The movie's format was: 720p H264 AAC.. The picture on the phone was very good, but i didn't get any sound from the phone. I read a bit about it and i found out that AAC was not a supported format.
So, does anybody have some audio converter program i can use, or other suggestions?
That would be great!
My SGS plays AAC and even mkv`s with DTS audio, it might be a ROM problem what you got there.

I got my vibrant and it plays most videos fine. But when I put mkvs on, the sound doesn't work. The video is fine but there is no sound. Anyone else experiencing this problem?
I was having the same issues with my 720p .mp4 files, using AAC audio (mpeg AAC audio @ 4800Hz). Even when resizing them for the Vibrant, and demuxing the audio, the sound is slowed by about 120% and sounds like demons in hell, eating saltine crackers.
Yea my problems are with aac audio as well. Im thinking of getting it exchanged. But if its a vibrant problem then...
I have a few .mkv files that play just fine on my Vibrant.
This is what VLC says about the audio
Codec:mp4a
Stereo
AAC Extension:SBR

Exchanged? LOL
It's the video player. It supports a myriad of formats, but it's not perfect. It's a little wonky too with h.264 video with odd "b" frame rates, as well as AAC audio at non-standard bitrates. With as much video being encoded and containered in MKV, given my experience with the format, it's quite miraculous that it plays as much as it does. This is as much a problem of how people are free to container MKV in whatever way they choose, as it is a problem with Samsung's built in player.
I have a few terabytes worth of video on my media server and lan here, and it's played most of what I've thrown at it so far. What little it hasn't played correctly Rockplayer ARM7 has been able to play.
This just on a select group of my videos, but a few of them don't have audio working in the stock video player and Act I. The video goes, but not the audio.
In Rockstar Player, the suspect videos played just fine.
Any reason why this might have happened and how to fix it?
my guess is that the suspect videos are coded in 5.1 or 6.1 surround. The stock media player doesn't support this. You could demux the audio to 2 channel and they will probably play fine.
I thought about this. It shows it as 2 channels, so that can't be it.
The audio bit rate could be out of range for the internal decoder. Try checking that. Other than that, I dunno.
The problem is coming from the lack of support for surround sound audio streams. When you encode your videos for your xoom, make sure you set the audio to stereo.
Yes.. but what about pass thru over hdmi. Someone has gotta try that one out. I've been meaning to test out 2 channel ac3. Its possible ac3 is a no-go overall
I encoded a film the other day and started watching it on the train today, but it would only play on fast forward!
Guessing the encoding is messed up or something, anyone seen this happen before?
I had this happen with some of the movies I encoded. For me I finally found that the reason was oddly enough due to the audio encoding. Somehow I had accidentally changed the setting to be 5.1 instead of stereo. Unfortunately I did about 7 or 8 movies with it like that before I tried one out and realized what had happened.
Interesting! Everything I've been encoding is 5.1, however with this particular video I increased the audio bitrate. I figured the default FFMPEG AAC setting of 64 Kbit might be a bit low for a movie, so increased it. (Previously I've just been encoding South Park episodes, which hardly require high audio bitrate).
My plan was to maintain 5.1 and convert all my mkv movies to mp4, as it not only reduces the file sizes a fair but, but also plays on Windows without any codec pack.
I guess I need to experiment with some different audio bitrates, or drop to stereo.
Thanks for the info!
good to know, as i just ordered a xoom today
and will be encoding a bunch of movies for it
For some unknown reasons Galaxy S4 and S5 devices are unable to playback AAC Streams of audio (not files, streams). They connect and simply buffer the stream forever. No audio is ever played on device.
MP3 streams are working fine.
I'm looking for some way of contacting Samsung support(already tried level 1, I'm looking for people who work with their builds) to see if we can find out what's going on, does anyone know where I can find it?
Thank you.
