Due to some licensing issues, many loyal users of what's arguably the
best video player for Android sooner or later find out that the sound in
the movies they just loaded for that long-haul flight wouldn't play in
MX Player.
We are talking AC3, MLP, DTS or Dolby
here, which usually means that if you load a high-res, high-quality
container with your favorite TV series, you might be unpleasantly
surprised that the sound won't play mid-air, when you don't have access
to the Play Store to get an alternative like VLC or KMPlayer.
HOW TO DO IT
1. Download the AIO 1.7.32 codec package zip,
and transfer it to default Downloads folder on your Android phone or
tablet. This all-in-one package contains the codec versions for hardware
decoders there are - Arm v7-Neon, Arm v7-Tegra3, Arm v7-Tegra2, Arm v6
VFP, Arm v6, Arm v5TE, x86, MIPS - preventing you from trying to
determine which one you have on your gear;
2. Fire up MX Player, and go to Settings>Decoder>Custom codec (scroll to the end of the list for that one);
3. Point the basic file browser to the aio.1.7.32 zip file you just placed in the Downloads or another folder of choice;
4. The MX Player will automatically pick the right codec for your device, and restart itself to finish the process;
5.
If you want to check if the codec pack has definitely been set as
default, go to the three context menu dots up right, choose
Help>About, and you should see it reading "Custom codec 1.7.32" -
this way you will know that the right codec has been installed properly
for sure. If for some reason sound doesn't play, check the
Settings>Decoder options, and set it to "Use H/W+ decoder" or "H/W+
audio on S/W video," if you have set software video decoding previously
for some reason;
6. That's it, you can now play any video file with sound on your beloved MX Player. Enjoy.
