No sound in player after Subtile Edit reinstalled

[loninappleton]

Very frustrated with all these errors and having to try to explain them.

I reinstalled Subtitle Edit from videohelp- v. 4.01 that I had on before.

My target MKV now has no sound. The peculiar thing is the file starts up at O volume repeatedly so I had
to be reset each time. Setting the volume to max did not help.

I loaded a different MKV and the volume worked ok.

So I mounted my backup HD which (since not changed) plays ok and does not require resetting each time.

I don't know where to start on such a thing. I have a working system, I need to fix what is now a non-working backup.
I've never had an audio problem in SE before.

Solved.

This thread above gave a hint as to what took my sound off after reinstall.


I had Direct Show set rather than the button for MPV at screen top during the reinstall process. I thought I had verified all that but....

But I still don't know how Direct Show functions as an engine in Subtitle Edit, or how to install NLC or MPC-HT.
