Problem with Audio In Most MP4 and MKV Files

[ddn2003]

Lately I've been having problems with the audio in most MP4 and MKV files. I have to set the Stereo Mode to Left or Right to get any audio. I've looked at the audio information and many files are:

Codec: MPEG Audio layer 1/2 (mpga)
or
Codec: MPEG Audio layer 1/2 (mp4a)

I've tried using AVIDemux to change the audio to AAC (lav), but it doesn't change anything. I've tested these video files in Air Video HD on my iPhone, which uses VLC to stream video files to my iPhone through a server on my PC. The app ends up playing garbled audio.

If anyone could help, it would be much appreciated.

Can anyone help me?

Try another audio output module:

If it doesn't help then try to reset the preferences:

Hi,

I've tried both options and neither solved my problem.

Any other ideas? Could K-Lite or CCCP have cause this issue?

Does this help any?
