[Announcement] MX Player officially gets AC-3 Audio Support

rickbman · Jul 31, 2017

I too am unable to play AC3 audio after updating to the latest version of the software.

I have version 1.9.3 of MX player.
I am on a Samsung Galaxy S8 if that makes a difference .
I've tried restarting the phone. I've tried completely uninstalling the software and any previous codecs and reinstalling the software.

Same here. The play store update killed the AC3 on my tablet and my phone I could never get to work.

same for me, cannot play AC3 on HTC U11. Not sure what to do, when trying to use custom codecs it suggests 1.9.0 ARMv7 NEON codec which i cannot find

I am using MX player Pro on my AC Ryan Veolo 4K+. At first it was all great, but for week now the player just won't decode AC3 files. It can only output audio in Stereo. I went through the process of installing custom codec but it still wouldn't output Dolby like before.

What should I do next?

Thanks.

I think I have just figured it out myself. Haha.
I cannot use HW+ or SW decoder. It has to be just HW. I had to uncheck everything in the decoder settings. It works now!

Ac3 not working

I have the same problem where ac3 isn't working. I have s Huawei Honor 6x if that makes a difference. I got mx player from Google apps store and it's version 1.9.3.

Are we really sure?

Just spent an hour clearing cache, restarting phone, reinstalling mx pro (v. 1.9.3). Reading forums. I still get a message telling me Ac3 is not supported. Thoughts? Suggestions?

Edit: Oh my dear gods of kobol! ARMv7 Neon 1.9.0 does... Not... Exist. But apparently if I can magically make it appear, I'll be able to actually hear the audio from AC3

Probably you might have some issues in getting configs from our server.

Kindly clear the data of the app & open the app with working internet connection. Once it gets the configs from the server, it should work again.

Some of us have kindly cleared our data and reopened it. Still no magical configuration to support AC3. I've done it twice now, once over phone network, and once over Wi-Fi. Nope, no AC3

Running 1.9.3 on a Nexus 7 (2013) and unable to play AC3, stopped working after the update.

Edit: Fixed by installing the new custom codec found in the links here:

Well E-AC3 still doesn't work.

That's still the same problem as in the past - AC3 is NOT working on 1.9.6. by default.

Passthrough is working but only in stereo - which is kind of pointless.

I emailed support at MX Player and hope to hear back about the AC3 problem.

So...

..I paid so many money and still I don't have AC3. Idk why is this app so expensive I can't have it all?!

I sent an email to the developer(s) several days ago about this and have not received any response. That's a very bad sign.

It is very unfortunate, as I would REALLY prefer to use MX Player due to the nice interface, and would gladly pay for the extra features.

I guess I'm stuck with the previous versions of Kodi (support AC3 and DTS, and passthrough) or Archos.

For a replacement for MX Player not working right, try Archos Video Player. Great interface, and it supports AC-3 & DTS, and passthrough, too! But no music player.

Kindly make sure that you haven't disabled brightness & volume gestures on Settings » Player » Control.
What's the version of the MX Player?

Eac-3 and AC-3 are not supported in 1.9

pakfones · Oct 20, 2017

That's really great news from MX player Team.

jcespi2005 · Oct 28, 2017

So is AC3 passtrough enabled on 1.9 finally?

Blackthorn0069 · Nov 13, 2017

WTF?` lost AC3 support...

So as of one of the last few updates, I've lost AC3 support... What's up?

MX Player team is very happy to announce that we are now adding “AC-3” audio support in our latest version of the app (i.e. MX Player v1.8.17 & MX Player Pro v1.8.16) in most of the regions.

If you have video files with “AC-3” audio, you can now play it without using any third-party / unofficial custom codecs…!

There are no extra efforts required on your end. Just relaunch the app again with working internet. Once, MX Player configuration is updated on your device, it will automatically start working again…!

Wormsworth · Jan 12, 2018

Ac3 is still not supported. What can I do about this to get it back??
