[Q] Need help sound disappeared when playing video

When I play a movie or video that I downloaded to the phone (avi), the sound disappeared every 2.5 minutes (approx) of playing. If I touch the status bar and drag it to earlier time or later time, the sound came back.
It's very annoying because I have to slide it every 2.5 min.
I'm using the stock player, vital player, mvideo player and they all have the same problem. I tried 3 different avi movie files on all 3 players.
Does anybody know how to fix this?
UPDATE 8/4/11:
I found out the solution with Vital Player (free app),
setting > decode mode > (choose) software codec
actually it's mentioned on their startup screen but i wasn't paying attention.
I tried Dice Player Trial and it doesn't have this sound problem..but...it's not free

I have the same issue with avi file. I searched for info or fixes but no luck. Anyone else with this issue?

[Q] Media player recommendations for HC that can play mkv's

Hello all,
I have finally made the jump into the honeycomb hideout from my rather comfortable gingerbread house (deck's stable evo build). On GB, the qqplayer was/is the perfect media player for most of my needs, plays mkvs,ogm,subtitles. On the newest update on our 7.0+'s, the player installs fine and can play videos that are placed on the internal storage (the program doesn't see the microsd for whatever reason), but the settings cannot not be accessed to change anything. I thought that the bottom status bar was hiding the options, but even with the bottom bar hidden with Honeybar, no options appear. I installed Rockplayer too, but had the same issue on not being able to access any options. At least Rockplayer sees the microsd and can play from it, although it won't find/play the embedded softsubs, like the qqplayer.
So, what media players are people using that work? Or can anyone think of a workaround?

I've been using MX Player, though I just picked one and it worked for 1080p mkv so I didnt bother looking further

found one!!!
I tried MX, it plays files, but didn't support internal subs. I have found a damn near perfect player, "mvideoplayer" version 2.91. Plays 720p mkv's with internal subs no problem.

Also there is Dice Play which let you play additional format regardless of system codecs

Have you tried Mobo?

No sound in 720p .mkv, how fix?

I transfered some 720p .mkv files to my tablet (external sd) and the video plays fine in both the built in player and in mx player but I don't get any sound. If I play a smaller .avi file it plays fine with sound in both players. Any ideas?
Sorry if it has been posted before.

try using another player like diceplayer. I used to have this problem when playing mini 720p with the stock player, but not with the diceplayer

Long story short: use software decoding for the audio.

Dice player works fine. Can I somehow watch full screen with out the black row with the three dots in de bottom?
Starting to hate this tablet more and more every day..

If you're rooted, get GMD GestureControl from the Play Store, and install Busybox.

Im noot rooted. Will probably root when a good port of AOKP is out

Why hate this tablet? it's the 3rd best atm!
And it's not the tablet's fault! Your video might have an unsupported audio format, or it may be corrupted.. Try playing the video from your tab on the pc. And can you precise what format is the audio?

I hate the lag when i browse the internet, my SGS is faster when scrolling around on internet pages. The internet apps I have tried freezes up ang gives FC at least 5 times every time i on the internet.
And many other things.
The videos works fine on my PC. It worked once with dice player but now I don't get any sound with dice player =/

New device, new fw, new problems. Most will be fixed by updates. The build.prop tweaks, for instance, made my .17 DE internet browsing _in powersave mode_ totally lag free (!).
You should wait for firmware updates, though. I'm afraid of what will happen if you accidentally brick your device.
Sound in players is accomplished by choosing software decoding of the audio.

[Q] Movies Freezing

I use a registered copy of ChewTune to rip iTune TV shops for watching on my TF700.
The transfer will state completed and apepar the correct size but about halfway to three Q's through the show it will free with a loud buzz.
Nothing I have tried such as moving beyond the point will help.
Tried several movies players with same results.
My question is there software that would scan the movie file and report or fix coding problems?
Thanks

Sounds to me like you either have something configured incorrectly in the ripper, or its buggy, but in either case it is unlikely a simple edit will fix the videos. The problem isn't likely a playback issue on your TF700, but try playing the vids on a pc and see if they work. If they do you might need to encode them differently. If not, then you might need a new ripper.

I am experiencing similar thing, but any show/movie stutters from beggining.
I use BS Player which worked perfectly fine until 4.2 version of android.
I think it is the ROM, not the movies. As mentioned, they work fine on PC/BoxeeBox - and they worked just fine on infinity, too - but not anymore.

Using MX Player on both 4.1 and 4.2 with no problems at all, perhaps your problem comes from BS Player.

I can second. I'm on CM10 using MX Player, and it can play my 1080p/5.1 bluray rips without any problems.

Been there, done that! Guys, loose both BS and MX and get Dice Player and all your problems will magically just go away! Works flawlessly over wifi too. Took me a month to figure this out and I had all your same issues. Thanks @jtrosky!!

[Q] Sound of movie from SD card gets asynchron after one minute

Hi,
for my holidays I copied some records from my receiver to the tablet. All the movies are from ARD HD and come in ts format.
I tried to watch the movies with different players (MX-Player, ...), but with each player the same result:
after around one minute the sound becomes asynchron and so I couldn´t watch the movie...
Is the tablet to slow for such records? Does it help to install a faster ROM (I´m using the original ROM).
The files are on my Class 10 SD card. I couldn´t test it on local memory, because I have not enough space.
Somebody has/had similar problems?
Cheers!

I tried some more apps and with VLC the movie and sound works like expected! But I recognized a very little jerking in the video...
I also installed the ARM 7 Neo(?) codecs for MX Player and now it works with the MX Player too.
But I'm also think about installing a new faster Image...
