Not normal. Stock player should play them back fine, all my music is FLAC and working perfectly.

I tried all players. Stock and 3rd party ones. Some just stop working others 'doesn't support this type of file'.

Guys, please try to playback these files on your phone. May be I just use wrong files.

[Q] Switching audio tracks in a video

Hi everyone,
Is there a way to switch between different audio tracks in a video in the SGS2video player? I have some movie files with several language tracks but it always plays the first audio in the list and I cant find a way to switch them
Thanks!

Im using another player, because I cant do that neither. I think it is not possible.

[Q] Audio support

Very interested in this phone for my next upgrade. However, using it as a music player will be important to me and most of my music is encoded in AAC format. The official Sony site doesn't list this as being supported by the Xperia S, whereas GSMArena claims that it is.
Does the Xperia S play AAC music files without a problem?
Even if it's not supported by the stock player, you can always use any ffmpeg powered one.

I thought as much - thanks for the confirmation. I'd still be curious to know if the stock player does it, though.
I have some AAC music in the m4a format in my phone and the stock music player is compatible with them. It plays and shows the tags/album art without problems.

Hello to everybody! I have an Xperia U and I try to reproduce podcast in m4a format with chapters ( Release yourself by roger sanchez) but all the app I've tried played only audio part, without chapters support.
Anyone can give me a suggestion?
thanks in advice

Deadbeef I think. Try the free version before buying.
Thank you I've just tried but it work only in audio reproduction
After so many apps finally I found one that reproduce mp4 with chapter: RockPlayer Lite.
The only disadvantage is that it cannot work in background!

Video files.

Hi guys,
I have some news to share, if you would call it news XD
Recently, .mkv video files started playing on my player through the stock video player.. And before, it said "Video cannot be played." Weird right? Has anyone experienced the same, video files that are not supported by the player start working all the sudden?
Try with VLC for Android. In PC is the perfect video player...

No, I'm saying .mkv files started to play on the stock video player, which isnt supported..
The "mvk" is just the container of the "real video" (audio + video) and doesn't tell anything about the codec used in audio and video streams.
You can get both audio and video, you can even get only video or only audio and sometimes you get nothing, this is because the stock player can't decode the streams due to codec missing.
Just try a different player. On my PC I use K-Lite Mega Codec Pack and on android I found MX Player truly complete, so i'd suggest this.

.caf == Core Audio Format, is an Apple defined media container that can hold a variety of audio and/or video encoded content.
Try MX Player, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mxtech.videoplayer.ad&hl=en
or Mobo Video Player Pro, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobo.video.player.pro&hl=en
Thanks MX player did the trick. Its annoying though i have many "good" music players such as poweramp and all could not play the .caf file which is very dissapointing.

I agree. I really don't know why Apple thought we needed yet another container format when there are already so many out there, unless it was to try to play the vendor lock-in game
iPhone doesn't support playing CAF files.
To play CAF on iPhone, I use a software named Faasoft Audio Converter to convert CAF to MP3, AAC, AC3, etc.

How can I get MKVs to play with DTS with default player

I just bought a 9205 and coming from using my Note 2, I miss playing all of my videos with the default player rather than using MX player. I don't know how or why it works but originally I couldn't play such files on the Note 2 with the audio working, but all of a sudden it did. Now, I would like to do the same with this 9205. How is it done without another player (since I sometimes stream my files to my Samsung TV with Allshare) and without remuxing the files? Thanks.

Bump cause I'm also interested.
The Note 2 stock video player supports AC3 but not DTS audio. The Mega doesn't support either of them (So that Sammy could save on the license fee).
On my Note 2, I have to use Dice player and a DTS plug-in in order to play MKV with DTS audio.
I plan to use the Dice player with the appropriate plug-ins to play MKV with AC3 or DTS audio on the Mega. Maybe you could try that too. You could find those plug-ins on XDA.
Try Archos media player.
Thank you for the replies. I am going to have to do some further research. I was looking at my video files and the audio codec embedded are saying DTS, yet they are playing correctly within the default player. Because of the allshare feature, I do not wish to use a third party player. I actually like using allshare more so than miracast since it streams files without stuttering, but that is a different topic. Thank you again for the replies.
mx player supportet.
