Why are there no sounds when I play videos in MKV format on my Huawei Mate S?
“Hey all, I added two 720p movies in MKV format to my Mate S and the video plays fine in both the built in player and in mx player but the sound is lost. I don’t have any problem playing AVI and MP4 files. Why does this happen? What should I do to resolve this? Any ideas? Thanks.”

If your MKV movies contain AC3/DTS codec, you will run into no sound issues when you play them on Huawei. In this situation, you will need to convert them first.
