Windows Media Center - MKV no sound
Hello everybody,
I have to deal with an ackward problem.
To be more specific, while mp4 and avi plays just fine with sound and subtitles, I haven't any sound when I play mkv files. The subtitles working fine also with mkv though.
Any thoughts what might cause this problem ?
I use the latest version of standard k-lite codec pack, and my windows version is the 8.1 pro with media center.
Thank you in advance !

Re: Windows Media Center - MKV no sound
Media Center uses a decoder from Microsoft by default for certain audio formats such as AC3 and DTS. It sometimes fails to work properly.
Codec Tweak Tool > MS Codec tweaks > disable the 64-bit MS DTV-DVD audio decoder

Re: Windows Media Center - MKV no sound
Right-click on a file and choose MediaInfo. There you can see what kind of audio format those files contain. With that information I can maybe give additional tips.
Do those files play correctly in Windows Media Player?

Re: Windows Media Center - MKV no sound
DTS audio is handled by the Microsoft DTV-DVD Audio decoder. If you have re-installed the pack, then you may need to disable it again. WMC uses the 64-bit version. WMP uses the 32-bit version.
If you open the open with the GraphStudioNext tool, then you can see which decoder it uses.
