Try diceplayer or mxplayer on the playstore.
The stock player can't reproduce ac3 sound.
Sorry for my english.....
MX player is free and works as does Archos player, also free. Both can be found on the play store. You may need to also get the Archos free codecs and if you want DTS sound in MX then you need to download the custom codec (there is a link in MX player)...
Yes MX-video player will do the job but
Samsung video player on my note 2 can play mkv file with no issue. So there must be away to make it work.

mkv is just the container, samsung dropped ac3 support. You can strip the audio & remux or do as others suggested and use a software based player.
I used to use MX player but recenty found out clueful privacy advisor indicate it has the potential/risk of leaking the device unique ID. Currently using super video player/Gplayer using software decoder to be able to hear audio during video playback.
Dice Player gets my vote its excellent, but you need "libffmpeg.so" for DTS audio which I added in the thread below.

Lets not forget XBMC if you want the full media center experience
Talk about XBMC. I also have audio problem. I can get it plays any movie but bad audio meaning I can hear sound but too much static... Is there any setting I need to do.

If I were you I would skip the usual trash on market and go for VLC instead. Its free and opensource with excellent reputation of being the swiss knife of media players. Recently the authors made a sustained effort to bring it from PC to iOS and android.
Beta version is available on the market and fresh apk nightlies can be downloaded from their servers http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/android-armv7/.
Even though still in beta, everything except hit and miss harware acceleration works.

No, unless your viewing something with DTS audio then you need "libffmpeg.so"
Ok, I just used the file from MX Player....I guess that didn't work.
Picked the file from your link now.
About MX Player. In LBE Security there isn't anything listed concerning the ID. Do you guys have anything to read up on this issue?

On MX you need to set audio decoding via software but sound works fine for MKV's...
Mx player can play anything. If it doesnt then just get the right codec. If it doesnt exist just write the right codec.

Weird Dice Player should be able to play everything. Check it's settings. I'll check when I get home tomorrow with my MKV's.

Here is a good thread, albeit from the S3 forum, on DTS audio
there is a plugin for dts on dice
it seems like none of those plugins are for the Samsung processor in the Note II? They are either for Tegra or Cortex?
i got a file mxlibs-176-neon.zip following a link above, and now dts audio is working with mx player.
Never mind I found it under accessibility.
vlc should play them also
If you only want to play the MKV files on your Note 2, I think MX player can do this, but if you want to play DTS audio,I am not sure this player can meet your demands.

Old post, but check out vlc.
Who uses the MX Player on their Note 2? Are there any particular settings which I should use for optimal playback?
Also, is there something better? I started using MX Player because I ran into issues with videos I made that the standard player wouldn't deal with.
I were trying to play an MKV file with MX Player awhile ago and it wouldn't play so i switched to BS Player. It does everything I need it too. MX might be able to play MKV by now but I'm not giving up BS to find out.
I use PowerAmp and have no issues with any file types.

I use MX Player on my Note 2 (and all my devices) for about a year or so and love it. The stock settings work great for me, and it has never failed to play a video that would choke the stock player, but the kids lock plugins seal the deal. Unbeatable if you have a grabby toddler.

I'm in the exact same boat on all accounts.
MX Player is the best really. Even though it plays mostly everything, i'm sort of the type who likes all his files in (one format) mp4 format so i convert everything i have to mp4 (as i get them, using Handbrake mostly). Default settings work just fine.
+1 here. Been using mx for about a year and it's great. Plays my mkv files no problem by the way. I also use the "stock" settings. Never have to adjust them UNLESS I'm on a cm based rom. If so all I've ever had to do was go into decoder settings and click hw+. Nothing else. Once I do that everything is as smooth as a stock rom.
Just my two cents

I always used MX player until i saw Mobo Player mentioned in the CM thread, does everything MX does, handles everything i can throw at it, and it has a floating window option. Best video player for our devices, hands down. Probably the best for many larger screen devices also. VLC has been pretty good too me also,, despite it being so early in dev..
So what's a better format, mkv or mp4? I would like to convert all my movies over, just don't know which format would be best.

It kinda depends on a few things. Mkv's can handle advanced styles of subtitles that mp4 can't. Also, to the best of my knowledge, mp4's can not handle DTS audio and mkv's can. The Note 2 can't natively play dts though but MX player can hardware render the video and software render the audio. Other than that if the videos are encoded properly the note 2 doesn't really care which of the 2 containers you use.
If there aren't any strict requirements i would just go with mp4 since handbrake is easy to use and your videos will be compatible with a larger number of devices if you go mp4.
Any recommendations for which player to use when playing back mkv movies files?
The built in video player doesn't have sound, and the few others I tried had either the same result or gave me an error about wrong version of android.

Your video probably comes with DTS stream that cannot be decoded. Google MX player DTS you wull find the proper codec.
If you are using Mx player you need to check off the audio codec in the settings. I would keep it that way forever.

I bet from a business standpoint, the amount the royalties cost per a device wouldn't have been worth it compared to the actual amount of people that would really take advantage of it. But yes, it would be cool to have had it out of the box. But I believe it works fine with MX Player from my testing, and it really wasn't that hard to get MX Player.
I had the same issue with unsupported audio codec, solved with VLC player.
I've paid. for just about every player, mobo, dice, bs.. right now my favorite is archos. it's a mix of mizuu and bs. I havent had a single video that it couldnt play yet.
Are those your recommended players to watch most content? I really want to buy one but in the past have ran into audio issues.

I like archos because it can download movie info, tv series info, and play about everything. I use he archos free codecs and everything plays fine. I've always liked archos media player from when I used to have the archos 101.
I know you can use other media players, but the point of using stock player is that it plays videos with the help of hardware, thus less battery consumption, versus if you use software decoding by other apps. Or at least It was like that on Nexus 10.
Has anyone tried to contact Samsung about this? My old galaxy 7.7has ac3 support.

the other media player can use hardware decoding if available. archos does ac3 fine with hardware decoding. i'd supposed the old bs player will to but i've not used it yet.
but it was nice having a great player that played everything built into the system.

If you download MX Player's NeoN-driver (you'll find the download link to the .zip in the settings), you can use HW+ for video and audio (DTS supported). Using this you are in audio/video heaven with the new Note 10.1. You can even play 2 full HD movies, one with MX Player and one with the built-in player (in pop-up mode) at the same time without any hickup. And if you so desire, open up an internet or file browser while you are at it - screen area allowing.
I see so much talk of lag and other supposed deficiencies here, while so far I have been in honeymoon state for 8 days solid.

Yes with mx player
hello all,
I just filmed a 4k video with my Note 3 (snapdragon version), and was trying to play it on my Note 10.1, thinking maybe it'd look better on the higher-res screen... Turned out Note 10.1 couldn't play it with native video player, nor could dice player or mx player play it with hw mode, and in sw mode it is very laggy.
So maybe Exynos 5420 cannot handle the 4k video (encoding and decoding) after all? Can someone with the snapdragon version of Note 10.1 try and see if they can play 4k video natively?
I dont have any 4k videos of my own, but all the ones i've played thru BS player (HW Mode) and Youtube worked fine.
And this is on the Exynos 5420 version...
In fact here's me updating this post running a 4k video on half the screen, unstoppable.

Can I ask what firmware you are on with your Note 10.1?

I didn't change anything in my Note3 camera setting, so the codec should be stock, which is h264 MPEG4 AVC1. The 4k video's got a crazy high bitrate that's for sure.
