Huawei Mate 9 won’t play my MKV movie correctly
“Hi folks, I really hope someone can help! I’ve just changed my old phone to a Huawei Mate 9. I’d like to watch movies on its big screen. When I try to play an MKV movie I get something saying ‘Unable to play audio track, unsupported audio codec.’ What audio formats does Mate 9 support? How can I go through this? If anyone could help it would be much appreciated!”

What file formats does Mate 9 support?
Audio
Audio decoding formats
MP3, MIDI, AMR-NB, AAC, AAC+, eAAC+, AMR-WB, WMA2-9, RA, PCM, OGG, and FLAC
Audio file formats
MP3, MP4, 3GP, WMA, OGG, AMR, AAC, FLAC, WAV, MIDI, and RA

Video
Video decoding formats

Video file formats

If your movie formats do not in the above mentioned list, the stock player in Mate 9 will not play them. In that case, you can try some other media player like VLC, MX Player and BS Player. If this still doesn’t work, I’m afraid you will need to start converting your videos to a format that is compatible with Mate 9 first. Here’s how.
