Audio in MKV is not supported on my Galaxy S7
“Hi folks, I really hope someone can help me. I’ve put some MKV video files on my Galaxy S7 to watch. Video works fine, but it says the audio is not supported. I get a message saying ‘Unable to play audio track. Unsupported audio codec’. What’s the deal with this? Is there any codecs or anything I can download to fix this? Do I need to convert them to a different format? Anyone else have this problem? If anyone could help it would be much appreciated! Thank you!”
MKV is just a container file. If you are facing no sound issues as mentioned above, you probably are trying to play audio encoded as AC3. If that is the case, it isn’t supported for legal reasons.

Read on to learn a quick guide on how to fix MKV no sound issues by converting AC3 MKV to Galaxy S7 preferred AAC MP4.
