No audio on MKV Files does anyone have any idea on how to get this nbox v3 to have audio on an MKV.

Most of the audio issues arise from trying to play mkv's with AC3 audio. If you email NBoxPlayer@gmail.com, they'll hook you up with a patch that you can download and install. Works like a charm and they were really fast about it! Apparently the firmware update is under the "manufacturer's copyright protection" so they can't just release the link on the internet.

You can download the updated firmware from the link below. It works fine for me.https://www.dropbox.com/s/lwswhirzv3hb1vz/V3-20120501.zip

Thanks Trung N. for the file, worked like a charm (2mins). Just download save files onto a thumb drive, connect to NBOX, go to settings and update!

I have the same problem, and I understand it is to do with the way the audio was encoded when the mkv was made, and what the encoder was intending the file to be played on.There is lots of discussion about it here: http://forum1.netgear.com/showthread.php?t=56433&page;=3and it may be fixable. I have not tried yet.HTH

OK - problem solved.mkv files can be encoded with a whole array of different audio profiles. I needed to have simple mp3/stereo to work with my TV.You can easily convert 'your' mkv file to the audio profile you need by using the free Avidemux software (ask Google). Load your mkv into Avidemux, then in the left column set:Video = CopyAudio = MP3 (Lame)Configure = StereoFilter = StereoWorked for me.And solved a similar problem with no audio on MP4 files.Good luck!

Hi there, almost all kind of videos I've been played on it, mp4, avi, mpg, mkv, flv with no problem. I've used dlna to share the videos from mac and pc. I hope this will help.

I don't know guys, I still haven't figured it out. Reading thru other posts here is making me think I'm going to return this thing. I really thought I'd like it, but if I can't string together my video clips to burn to DVD, WHAT is the point? It doesn't seem you can ask this question at the Vado official site either w/out first entering all the numbers off the box it came in. What a pain, I don't carry the box around w/ me. They also do not have an 800# that I can find on the site to call. Frustrating! I wonder how many customers they are losing?

Hi, I've purchased a box version and never encountered such a problem. There could be various reasons, a bad / slow internet connection, for example. I assume, while downloading the software, something went wrong. My suggestion is to contact the support team, by using their "chat" box. Someone should be able to help you right away. I've had a few questions in the past and always got help from someone at the tech dept. You can also check youtube. There are plenty of tutorials regarding video studio pro x topics.

Barbara, unless someone else answers this question before I get home, I'll pull it out and see, but I certainly don't remember having to do anything. I have several camcorders, and I remember that one did not play sound back through the camcorder but did when moving it to DVD, etc., but don't remember if it was this one. I'll update when I get home. Just wanted to let you know that someone was checking into this for you! Edit: My wife tells me we no longer have this camcorder (we originally purchased it in 2007!) Sorry I couldn't help!

Avi yes, mkv and mp4 no, however the movie clips must be small to view ok, otherwise is working with stopage.

That's exactly what I was trying to do, and it won't work at all. No picture, let alone audio. Total bummer.

I've played avi and mkv by connecting my external hard drive to a usb port. They were played well but the subtitle integrated in my mkv files couldn't be read.

The sound records on the videos OK and I can hear it when I upload them to my computer. But the camera itself makes no sounds whatsoever -- no video playback sound, no shutter sound, etc., despite what the camera settings are. It's almost as if its own speaker is not connected / broken.

I don't know, but I own the player, and it has no problem with a surprisingly wide variety of files. DVD .iso's are no problem, and neither are video_TS folders. Sometimes I don't get audio on .mkv files (I understand these usually result from blue ray ripping) but then I just convert the file to. mp4 or .avi. If this causes quality to go down, I can't see any difference. In short it's a good player. The only caveats the remote is hard to use; the menues are hard to read; and I had to downgrade the firmware to get it all going.

Sorry, I do most gaming from a console, My media PC has a wireless Keyboard & trkball. Not too good for gaming.I have ran MKV Vids through the 3D converter & found no detectable lag or artifacting. Dunno if that helps but its the best I can offer. Never thought to convert a Vid Game, I might try that if I get the time & update this answer.I have an intermediate level NVidia adapter - don't remember the model but it was bout $80 3 years ago, so it's no Cadillac,Good for most MMedia, not great for gaming)

Anybody have a thumb drive to fix Vizio sound issue? Webpage says it is unavailable. After watching for about an hour, sound gets distorted. Other than that, a great bedroom tv. Or , if anyone had the same issue and solved it, please let me know. Have tried every option on tv audio menu.

No problems what so ever with audio. It just may be a glitch. It happens. Good luck!

It does however mkv's movies will not work on fat32 If you have good computer you can install plex server and it will stream it to ps3 or any dlna supported device.Thats what I currently do is stream my library with plex media server and I can also access any where with internet on iphone or android
