Hey Guys,
My Samsung Galaxy s2 Stock Media Player dosent play ac3 Audi files or Mp4 FIles with Ac3 audio decoded. I was able to play those using Dice player or rockplayer.
The official Samsung Site or other specification says this (This is from wikipedia)
For audio it supports (FLAC, WAV, Vorbis, MP3, AAC, AAC+, eAAC+, WMA, AMR-NB, AMR-WB, MID, AC3, XMF). For video formats and codecs it supports (MPEG-4, H.264, H.263, DivX HD/XviD, VC-1) and video formats (3GP (MPEG-4), WMV (ASF) as well as AVI (DivX)).
Issues:
1. Stock Media Player dosent play ac3 Audi files or Mp4 FIles with Ac3 audio decoded (Stock Media Player gives the Option 5.1 to be enabled but ac3 not playing)
2. Other players play it Under software decoding, But main Problem is 5.1 isn't working with Head phones
I googled and found some Users were able to Play it with stock media Players. Read something like "I dont have any problem playing those files, I just copy and play them"
I am now confused is this happeneing with my device alone, So guys how do you dea this?
Please reply so that i would be grateful to you guys
Regards,
Magnanimousdude.
Samsung Galaxy S2
thought this forum is good and people would quickly give suggessions on what was the issue, But after 79 views also i didnt get any reply... atleast there wasn't 10 samsung galaxy s2 owners who saw this post??? Pathetic for me
Probably due to nobody having the answer who has read your post .
Reading your second post i would be disinclined to reply anyway .

Hi,
anyone else having trouble with mkv files with AC3 audio?
Tried MX player, BSplayer and vlc.
MX player has no sound and smoth in HW and sound in SW (audio only) but really choppy.
BSplayer won't play in hw at all and vlc has horrible quality (artifacts).
Is that working for anyone or is that a general problem? (codec?)
Anything that i can try?
thanks
Try sending the MX Player dev a message mentioning the problem, it's likely something to do with the cutting edge hardware in there not being 100% supported just yet. MX Player is a great app, and I'm sure the N10 will be supported in no time at all.

I am using MX for MKV with AC3 - in the Decoder tab in settings, set the decoder to HW+ and in the Software decoder section, tick the box 'S/W audio' to force software decoding for Audio - then you should get smooth HW accelerated video playback with soft-decoded audio.
I also use MX with EZ Usenet to stream these types of files directly from Easynews, and it works perfectly with HW+ setting, software for audio
tried using a vlc nightly? What version did you use?
VLC: used the armv7-android-neon nightly from 2 or 3 days ago
MX: with hw+ its stutters even worse than with hw when i have software audio
i stream directly from files on my computer, can that be the cause?
VLC works intermittently for me and MX Player works pretty good, the only issue I've had is what seems like missing frames or slow playing video but then the audio is ok. To me VLC seems smoother but it's very tempremental.

is that a general assessment or specifically to AC3?

No problem use a custom code:
"Custom Codec v1.7.32 is fully compatible with MXPlayer 1.7.33
As Usual supports all codecs incl DTS & DOLBY (AC3)
(Old Custom Codecs are not compatible with the latest MXPlayer v1.7.33...!!)"
P.S. the version of MX Player that has AC3 support removed is v1.7.33 so you need to at least refresh the codec you have installed or install the latest ones.
Here is the post with all the various devices compatible custom codecs and installation instructions. I just did a successful before and after test. After installing this AC3 audio is a non-issue.
Too bad both the owners of DTS and AC3 need to such dicks about their decoding software. I have no issue when they charge for encoding.

Try MxPlayer
Hey guys!
I decided to tick the Hi-Fi in video recording options and now I'm having trouble with the audio. On the computer, VLC is the only player that I found that plays the video with sound. All the other players, only plays video. I want to edit the footage and neither Vegas nor Avidemux supports the sound. Is it a codec I am missing? I tried K-Lite and no luck there.
Thanks for the help!
If VLC plays the vid with sound i would assume a codec issue... but at the same time I would assume Vegas would have all the needed codecs :/
Has anyone figured out which codec is required yet? The audio sounds amazing with the Hi-Fi ticked but it is pointless if I can't find a video editor that can read it.
Hi,
I have TM580. It's not able to play back AC3 audio.
I know I can install MX player (or alike) and enable AC3 audio. However, some of the app I use have built-in player and it won't be able to play back AC3.
Is there any way to enable this for all players?
Thanks
