I've got an MKV file that runs perfectly with VLC player on Windows 8.1. I want to play this file on my Xbox One. When I try to play it directly from a server, it can access the MKV fine, but there is no sound! As a possible work around, I used VLC Player to convert the MKV file into an MP4 format, but now it has no sound at all, even when I play it on my PC.
Note: this question has a similar title but it does not address the same issue. VLC playing mkv file without sound
This is a similar issue but I am not using Chrome or Youtube, it appears to be a sound or media format issue (it also has no solution): YouTube web no sound but VLC has sound
This sounds like a codec problem. While XBox One will recognize the mkv container it still needs a codec. – Ramhound – 2015-02-26T04:57:26.523
