No sound while playing movies - Acer Iconia A500

I updated to 3.1 and tried playing few movies...but no sound at all
i tried with nemo and mobo...but with music files there is sound..
how to fix this?

I'm running taboonay and occasionlly lose sound with videos, but other app sounds still work. Usually a reboot clears it up for me. Don't know if thats the same issue.

I noticed the same thing right after I updated. No sound with movies, no matter what player or what format.
I tried playing some music to see if that was affected also. When I launched PowerAmp (great app, btw), my music also has no sound...but for just a couple of seconds. The sound came back for my music (after fiddling with the volume controls) and then after I checked, it was back for my movies.
Try that out. Maybe it will work for you.

If it didn't work on 3.0 then check if the sound is maybe AC3.
There are problems with that.
I found that Vplayer is able to play it with sound, so you may try that also.
In my case it plays 720P movies with AC3 sound without any problem.
So i bought it, after trying the trial version

I'm also using vplayer. I tried Rock player (loved it on my phone and hated it on my tablet) and MoboPlayer (hated the confusing playlist that added all the movies even those I didn't want to add).
So far no problems with 720p or anything else even when streaming (unless I have low signal).

Now it works..i installed the Roboplayer and its codec...did a reboot and then it started playing...thinking how could acer ship it leaving the user to fix it

Then save your data and do a hard reset. It will get you up and running.

do you mean the factory reset? if so i tried that and it still doesn't play anything?

I'm assuming it was mere coincidence for me, but after I got the update, I tried to play a movie off of my thumb drive. Movie played without using ntfs mount, but I had no sound. I had sound when I clicked on the screen, and when I typed. Ended up unrooting, then rooting with the new IconiaRoot1.3 and after a reboot, sound and video playback worked no problem. Also used the netflix patch and it worked perfectly too.

i still have the same issue after i tried the solutions that allrady posted so please help..
i'm new in this form (^_^)....

Solved my no sound issue.
After playing around with several players, I discovered an option in MXplayer and Rockplayer that gives you the option to select Hardware decoding or Software Decoding. Using Hardware decoding, I didn't get any sound. When I switched to Software decoding, all my movie sounds started working. In the MXplayer, I did have to go in and "clear records" under preferences for the sound to start working.
I hope this helps others too.

yeah ... u get sound this way ... but the movie is very choppy ..
when u select hardware decoding the movie is smoooooth but no sound

I had this exact problem last night after updating and figured out what was causing it. The update made MoboPlayer default back to hardware decoding. I changed the setting back to software decoding and presto, I have sound again. Hope the same is true for you.
Sorry, just noticed that wirles said the same thing. I am noticing no issues with choppiness, but the videos I play are usually not HD.

yeah .. i know .. but the video is choppy again.

Trinity Sound Bug with TCPMP

Just installed TCPMP v71 and tried v72RC2 when playing music or videos I would hit play on the touch screen then it will play, after 3-5 seconds the sound gets distorted and goes away. If i use the action key to pause and then play it agian everything is fine. If I just load a music or video file and hit the action key it would play fine but if i tap the screen to play it, it screws up. Anyone else experiencing this problem?

Hi,
Does anyone else have this bug? I also see it in CorePlayer (I'm running AX3L's ROM 3.0.9) It's a real problem for me to use TCPMP or CorePlayer as I can't pause at all.
Edit: Whoops, I just re-read the thread, and I tried pausing using the D-Pad, and it works! Hooray...
I have exactly the same bug.. after two seconds , the sound goes away and I hear ticking-like sound
tcpmp81RC1 doesn't resolve anything, and besides.. it freezes almost instant
(same sound problem)

all devices have some limitations/problems. It's a matter of how you resolve it. I came from two O2 devices, and believe me, they have their issues as well. Now, it's my first dopod, hope I can stick to this one.
Sudden No sound on Core Player
Hi all,
I would like to enquire if anyone can help me with fixing this bug. I have been using coreplayer on my HTC Trinity since i got the phone however just last weekend... i am not sure what happen but all of a sudden the sound did not work. The image worked fine... i tried to see if it was my speaker but when i use an alternate TCP player, the sound was fine.
Any ideas? I went to the options => stream => the audio is checked.
I checked the menu option => tools and all of it is checked.
Hence i hv no idea what is wrong.
any ideas anyone? Appreciate any help.
Try to set Audio to Mono and video preload @ 90 % instead 70%.
Bye.

My video playback not showing pictrue...How about yours?

I just noticed that after the OTA my video playback is not showing any picture, just sound. I've tried double twist, gallery, and vplayer to play a movie from the gallery to no avail. From within gallery does your video work? I've noticed that if i move the placement further along into the video the picture will show, but not from a dead start. Can anyone else check and let me know if theirs is working fine.
This only requires you to see a video from you gallery to reply.

I just checked mine, working ok here.

I am having this issue as well and I have not gotten the OTA yet, before the video I shot would play fine now I just get the audio. I tried movies, rockplayer and vplayer and none work.
Edit: I powered off phone, removed battery, pulled out my sd card and then reinserted it worked and now I can watch my recordings again
Im getting the same issue. The videos will play fine at first but then issues come up mainly the blank screen. It will get fixed by rebooting the phone but then it will happen again later. The problem mainly happes when I'm watching a video then pause it for any reason or if I don't pause and back out, when I try to go back to see it again, the screen is blank with sound.never happened before the ota
I just did a simple reboot and it worked fine again.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
i know a reboot fixes it but the problem comes back. watch if it happens to you again, remember what you did when it happened, do a reboot, then do what you did before, if nothing happens, then theres no problem, but if the screen goes blank again, then theres a problem.
at first i thought it was cause i was using rockplayer, but the default movies player would mess up also. but its interesting, because in rockplayer, is i choose software decoding, the video will play, but will lag badly. the sound will be way ahead of the video. but if i switch back to hardware decoding, it just plays sound with a blank screen.

Choppy Video via browser(s) and Video apps...

I have the Verizon Note 3 and whenever I try to play a video from an internet site such as a news clip etc...it is all choppy and lags. This happens no matter what browser I use (Chrome or Stock) and does the same thing when using MX Player or the built-in video player. Not sure what's going on. I originally had the power save mode enabled and thought that may be causing it, but I turned it off, rebooted and video still lags. I had no issues with my Nexus 7 playing embedded videos so I am not sure what's going on. This phone has powerful hardware so I have to believe it's something software related?? Wanted to add this is happening while using wifi or 4G, doesn't seem to matter.
Any input?

There are 2 things you can do to improve video playback on your Note 3:
1. Install MX Player, go to its settings and download the NeoN.zip driver. After you install that (unzip first) and put video and audio playback on HW+ (also in the MX Player settings) the video playback part is done. This gives you DTS playback also.
2. Unfortunately there seems to be a problem with Wifi communication, for which afaik no clear solution exists. I'm trying to see if another model router solves the issue since several posters on this forum reported having no Wifi issues at all. Maybe a topic should be started to see what router chipsets are causing problems.
Activate the, Force GPU Rendering, in the Developers Options , and see if it will make any difference.

Try turning off the Smart Screen options, like Smart Stay and Smart Pause etc. Maybe that will work?

Thanks for all the replies. After switching MX player to H/W + the video is smooth as butter. I also enabled Force GPU rendering in Developer Options as well. Looks like I'm good to go.
Appreciate the help.

I did this and my stock player still stops and plays every few secs. The on screen buttons come up and show it is pause. Its almost as something is reading that the screen has been pressed. My web videos play fine as does DicePlayer.
I am also having trouble with audio playback using Poweramp. The music gets louder and softer randomly, and i get distortion and crackling/popping sounds as well. Using the stock player seems fine.
Anyone have these issues?
Dice Player fixes the issue. Download it and make it your video player.

[Q] Audio muting itself

At random times when i play music there isnt any sound coming out the the headphones. After pausing and playing, changing tracks or scrolling the track it suddenly starts working again. This happens at random times and gets pretty annoying. I have tried different Equilizers but no luck. Right now im using the Noozxoide Eizo rewire pro on xnote 20. Anything i can do to fix this? has anyone else experienced this?
Yep, mine does that occasionally. Haven't been able to pin down the cause as of yet.

Stock, N7, Winamp, Poweramp, Shuttle. All have the issue.
Full firmware reflash & data+cache wipe did nothing to resolve it.
It's not any specific song that has the issue.
Files on the SD or Internal make no difference.
Neither doe the EQ settings, headset vs speaker.
Adapt sound is disabled completely in applications.
It's not overly common (+-Once every 3 days of 12 hours listening), but it does happen.
Also at times it won't play the next song after the last one ended until I hit the power button to turn on the screen. Then it starts.
I suspect it has something to do with the notorious Mediascanner process. It's so bugged it probably gets stuck halfway through.
Yea i've tried mulitple 3rd party music players as well as the stock player. Im starting to think it might be equalizers.. I uninstalled the equilizer i was using which has worked fine for me on the stock music player, however, 3rd party music players still have the problem.

netflix issue

Nextflix starts playing a video either streaming or if I downloaded and the screen is black in either case but audio plays as if the video where playing.
I changed video quality to high and still same issue, then changed back to standard and still same issue.
I already re-installed and cleared cache
Any one else having this issue on their OP 6T (not the tmobile)?

Well I guess it's just me. Netflix suggest to contact the phone manufacturer. I will do that soon and maybe even return this op6t if they don't have a fix
Are you using night mode? Have you changed your dpi at all? Are you using substratum or anything that works with overlays? Are you running any app that can "draw over other apps" running while watching?
