No sound when playing .MKV

[birdchua]

Hi, I am running Mandrake 10.1 and using VLC to try to open a .MKV file with the video in XVID and the audio in mp4a. It can play the video adn the subtitle fine but there is no Sound!!. When the file is first open, it started with audio disabled, there is still no sound even after chosing the audio track. Can anyone help me with the problem? The VLC is version is 0.8.1
The funny thing is that I can play the same file using VLC in WinXP with no problem.

Any help will be appreciated.
