Just tried vlc for ios on iPad 1 with a film encoded with xvid with mp3 audio track, it plays fine on other iOS players, but under vlc the audio is very distorted, is this a codec issue?

This is weird. Could you upload a small sample to http://streams.videolan.org/upload so we can have a look?

I have the same issue with a avi file. When I tested a mkv file, there was no audio at all. I know you asked for a sample from the OP, but I'm not sure how to make a sample of the original files, approx 800MB and 1.2GB, respectively.

I came to post the same thing. This is what it sounds like: http://vocaroo.com/i/s1x8nu4CBWV8

Does VLC have support for ac3 audio?

edit: iPhone 5 on iOS 6.1.2 if that makes any difference

I have the same issue with several avi-movies

I have the same issue on several avi-movies. But with mkv file it working very good ! I tried on a iPhone 5 and an iPad 2 and I have the same issue on both.

I have the same issue with several avi-movies...

I am having the same Issue with MP4 and MKV with no audio. Makes me sad. Perhaps I had too high expectations. I was really hyped up about it last night! too bad, hopefully the issues will get resolved, The reason I picked VLC is so I don't have to convert my files to MP4 for my Iphone 5

I had the old VLC player on my iphone (yes, I kept it) and it worked fine. I downloaded the new one and installed two FLV video files. The audio on both files is terrible. One is just static and the other is a very low volume. I did delete the old VLC and rebooted just to make sure there were no file conflicts, but the problem persists. Any ideas?

I just loaded a 720p mkv file. video plays fine, but the audio doesnt play at all.

I also was excited to see VLC for IOS as converting files to MP4 and itunes is tedious. The WIFI drag and drop worked great and the video plays back well but the audio doesn't work. For an MKV file, I don't get any audio at all (only video) and for a AVI file I get a distorted audio (harsh buzzing). I tried both files in VLC on my Mac and they work fine. I also tried another video through itunes and no audio problems (so my phone's audio isn't the problem). I tried to reboot my phone as well as re-install VLC for ios but no luck......any suggestions?

From what I can tell it definitely it isn't on all videos. I found an mkv which according to the codec information in VLC 2.0.7 on windows was using AC3 audio another using AAC audio. They ran fine on the VLC app for both my iPad 2 and my iPod 5. However when I try streaming an mkv which I transcode while streaming so it can run on the VLC for iOS app I get 2 results depending on the "profile" I use. The first "profile": H.246 + MP3 (MP4) which I assume means H.246 video and MP3 audio and that outputs no sound at all even when I just try streaming to my own computer. The second "profile": H.246 Video with MP3 audio(TS) which outputs just buzzing which I assume means the same codecs as the first "profile" just with a different container gives me what other people seem to be getting when I try streaming to my iPod 5 through VLC for iOS: a strange fuzzing sound that vaguely replicates the sound of the actual audio. What's interesting here is as far as I can tell it is using the same audio codec and getting I'm different results. The only difference is the container. MP4 is the container used by Apple and I believe means MPEG-4. From what I can tell apple's .m4v (MP4s just with a different extension) use the AAC audio codec whereas I am transcoding it to the MP3 audio codec no matter which profile I use. The second profile's container is TS which I believe is used for broadcasting HDTV or something. Not too sure about something. Anyway all of this in-depth analysis I have here doesn't explain what's happening or how to solve the problem. I just thought it might be worth noting that as far as I can tell it doesn't apply to AAC and AC3 audio and only to MP3. Not sure about DTS yet. So basically some mkvs will still work.
