.m4a files won't play over BT stereo headset?

I'm running a LVSW rom tweaked by Austinsync.
When I play mp3's using Win Media Player, they play fine thru my Moto HT820's. However, whenever a m4a file starts playing, the musics reverts back to playing on the phone's speaker.
I'm pretty sure that m4a files played fine thru the HT820's when I was using the pure LVSW rom from 6/16 though.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

I've tried Sleuth255's ROM and the same thing happens - mp3 songs play thru the stereo BT headset fine but if I try to play m4a songs, the audio switches to the phones' speaker.
No one else has encountered this problem? Or am I the only one that has m4a music files?

I play m4a music files through bluetooth and they play fine, unfortunately, I use a wizard. What do you use to play? I use TCPMP, Windows Media plays my m4a(aac plus encoded) as mono, while TCPMP plays it as stereo..

[Q] No sound from recorded videos when playing on computer.

When I record a video with my Evo, I tried MPEG4 and H.264, the videos record just fine on the phone and also play back like they are supposed to. When I transfer the files to play on my laptop though, there is no audio that plays with the files. I don't know if this is just a windows media player issue. Windows 7, Home premium 64 bit. Does anyone else have this problem? It did the same thing when I owned my Hero.

Same issue here as well. hmmmm

I just did a test, loading a video to youtube, and the sound plays just fine on youtube also. This leads me to believe it's a codec issue with the WMP

[Q] HDMI experience - audio out problem

I have been playing with HDMI out. Using official Samsung adapter EPL3FHU and TV Panasonic TH-42PX80E. So far I cannot get out audio consistently.
When connected first time, I had system sound off, so I could see picture, but no audio (form system) as expected. When playing movie with BSPlayer, VLC, or MX I got audio out of built-in speaker though (and not through TV).
Reconnected with system sound on, I could get system plonks and boings out of TV. Playing songs from Neutron was fine as well. Even playing original Samsung demo video via VLC produced sound on TV.
Then I tried one .mkv with DTS (which plays fine in BSPlayer with sound on internal speaker) and the sound through HDMI stopped working. Then I tried again Neutron, VLC, but I could not get even the apps that were working, working them again. System sounds are fine though.
And so far I was not able to recover.
It looks like there are some incompatibilities, probably between some players, sound formats which break one part of sound path (but not all, as system clicks are still transported correctly). And this break seems to be kind of permanent, until some reset. But simple reboot does not solve this.
I wonder what I might be missing.

I can partially reply to myself. The problem is that some players (it seems BSPlayer, and MX do that) cannot play DTS through HDMI (though BSPlayer can play it through internal speaker) and for some reason it resets volume settings for multimedia to zero (i.e. no sound). Once I realized that and "reenabled" volume for multimedia, it seems fine for Neutron, VLC and system sounds.
VLC can even play DTS through HDMI out, but for some reasons suffers from sound being out of sync with video.
So now the question remains, what is good video player, which can get out DTS through HDMI out.

Have you been able to get multichannel audio out HDMI?

Showbox, sound, but no voices

I side loaded showbox and it worked for awhile. Then it started to mess up. It'll have all the background sound, but no voices. I uninstalled it and then downloaded it straight to my AFTV stick, installed again, but no good. I have tried using MX Player and the internal player, no good either.
Any advice?

could it be sending 5.1?
you could try setting the fire tv's dolby setting to stereo although it may or may not be able to downmix

It was the decoding part of the MX Player. I had to download the new Codec and install, then turn it to H/W+ decoding. Working now.

MX Player issues when playing audio

Have the following issues:
1. When screen is off with audio playing in background, MX Player will wake the screen at random intervals.
2. When playing the audio file with HW+ encoder, no sound output at occasional parts of a file until I skip one second pass the offending part. Without skipping, the file will continue playing without sound.
Anyone facing the same issues and has a solution?
No issue for the same audio file when played using VLC player, nor when using MX Player with my older spare phone.
