No sound on .avi files

Postby VLClearner123 » 19 Apr 2024 18:48

I have a bunch of .avi files. VLC plays the video but without sound. I'm running Win10, fully updated, with VLC v. 3.0.20. Is there a codec I need to download? Or anything else to fix this problem?

Make sure you have selected the correct track and device under Audio.

Audio Track is greyed out and there are only 2 options for device: default and speakers. I've tried both

So the video has no audio track. Makes sense that it's silent then
