Play mp2 audio

[GeoSv]

Has everybody eliminated support for mp2 audio? I have some old mpg video and nothing will play the audio. That's mpeg-1.
Windows 8.0. K-Lite codec and everything. No player or converter.
No use installing newer versions of VLC since you won't add old stuff you already dropped. You say you play all formats, but ignore this.
Or am I missing something.

Please open Tools -> Messages (set Verbosity to 2) before you start the playback, and then paste the full resulting log here or on Pastebin.com if it's too long.

Also upload a short sample of a problematic file to either Zippyshare.com (200 MB max) or to EmbedUpload.com, the latter will upload the file for you to several other hosts (use the default ones) and then post the link to the file here.

If needed cut it with DGsplit and read here about how to do it:
viewtopic.php?f=14&t=57724&p=193335#p193335
50 MB max should be enough.

LET ME KNOW IF YOU STILL NEED THE VIDEO SAMPLE.

[GeoSv]

I had tried playing 2 mpeg files and both audios failed, so I started researching. Now I dug up more of them and turns out their mp2 does play.
Answer: my second file has no audio in the first place. This present file must be some anomaly, but my system does seem to be working. One of those freak situations.
By the way where would I see mp2 listed in my codecs? K-Lite doesn't specify it.
Also doesn't VLC play wma2 anymore?

[GeoSv]

Also doesn't VLC play wma2 anymore?

[Lotesdelere]

Yes, we still need the sample because my VLC 3.0.0 can still play MP2 and WMA2.

BTW, WMA2 is not MP2.

[GeoSv]

The mpg mp2 file is at https://app.box.com/s/6oy6fmq1xu82ecm2f2s18x91nwal019i

I have some divx+wma2 videos and my avi editors and converters couldn't handle the audio, so I commented above. But today I find that VLC and MPC can in fact play it. One of those situations that needs careful checking. So my VLC 2.01 is not a problem. Is it possible a codec can be "in use by another program"?

[Lotesdelere]

Seeing that this file was giving no errors while playing, and that there was no sound with any player I've tried, I have extracted the audio stream and guess what ?
There is no sound at all in this audio track, it's absolutely flat.

So it's playing fine but we can't hear anything because there is nothing to play.
