Media Player Classic No Sound

[jrank001]

Hi. I can not get any sound from my MPC. Any ideas or settings I need to check? Running Vist 32 bit.
Thanks

Not enough information. If no type of video works, I would suspect you don't have your audio set up properly. Go to your audio controller settings. If other players work, but not MPC, then reinstall MPC. If it's a particular type of audio, like AC3, you probably don't have the codec installed.

Try VLC. It uses it owns codecs, so it may tell you if it's a codec problem.

Actually, since Media Player Classic is pretty much just a drop-in-and-use EXE, you can't really just reinstall it. But, yeah, I'd tend to wonder if jrank001 merely didn't have the audio codec for the movie installed. Does it indeed play without sound for every movie you try, or just one or two movies? Do they play correctly in any other player?

I've got MPC working with sound on 32-bit Vista, and didn't have to make any changes to the audio setups in MPC.

AC3Filter? <edit>Nevermind, MPC has a built in AC3 decoder.</edit>

Try enabling/disabling the interal audio switcher.

That seemed to correct it. Thanks for all the input folks.

[jagabo]

Did you have enable or disable the internal switcher?

[jrank001]

I disabled and then reenabled. Then it seemed to work correctly. Strange.

I was able to fix this by editing the registry (using Vista). I posted the directions on this other form similar topic, see link.

Hi, I think that MPC-HC is a great thing but the menus spoil it a bit. I also could get no sound out of my movie (working but stuttering in VLC). After a struggle with enabling-disabling things I realized the "Volume" in the right-click-menu and found the "Mute" tick hidden there... So simple. How it got activated, I do not know.
IMO, somebody should order the menus in at least a little logical way (like dismissing the "Navigate" and "Volume" rows - who would ever use a right click and 2 left clicks to increase/decrease volume a little bit or mute it?). Would not be much work.

Hi,
For solving the sound problem In MPC , just go to View->Options->Playback->Output->Audio Renderer and change it to your correct sound Device, hopefully you can eventually hear the sound.
Good Luck.

MPC-HC tries to be like VLC these days. For people that don't install codecs then it's usually fine but for people like myself, it can cause a lot of problems.

If you install all your own codecs and splitters then it is best to turn everything off in MPC-HC and only activate it if you have to.

I went to play an m2ts file today and the audio would not play which was strange since aac audio plays fine in other containers. I unchecked MPEG PS/TS/PVA under Source Filters and it played the audio.

I have XP SP2. I don't get audio when I open video files with MPC. There is no problem on showing video. It opens flv, avi & mpeg2 files. I tried all the settings as described above and in other threads as well. I observed that the audio plays wherever it is 22050 Hz irrespective of the type. Ikons like ffdshow video, audio and AC3 filter pop up when I play videos. I searched in Realtek HD Audio Manager also for possible clues, but in vain. I use MPC mainly to find the audio shift and then to correct in other softwares.
I would appreciate for the help to solve this peculiar problem.

I unchecked MPEG PS/TS/PVA under Source Filters and it played the audio.

Kept getting the "Audio Switcher Out" error (when opening dvd video) with MPC-HC, and the above simple fix worked. Thank you!

Try here: strictly speaking, you don't install MPC on to your system: http://www.techsupportalert.com/cont...step-guide.htm Open MPC and click on View > Options, then click on the section entitled, "Formats". Click the "All" button to make MPC the default player for all media types. You can then close that section and close the program if you wish. Seems obvious, but make sure you've selected 'all file extensions'' or all the right ones for the type of video/audio file you're trying to play.

hi, another problem, since this thread looks most active! My MPC cannot seem to play 10bits video but perfectly fine when playing 8bits videos, what can I do to adjust MPC? Thanks.
