  1. Windows 10 won't play the audio of my mp4 videos


    Hello guys!

    I have installed all possible codecs but still can't get this fixed: Windows 10 simply won't play the audio in any of my mp4 files. The Films and TV app will open the image just fine, but with an X over the sound icon. Media Player on the other hand will crash and say "server execution failed". After installing codecs, the only thing that changed is Media Player opening just the image instead of crashing.

    VLC works without any problems and that's why I've been okay with it for so long, but now for work reasons I need to get this sorted out.

    Here's the thing: I cannot get the video files transferred to my iPhone or my MacBook either. Bluetooth will fail. AirMore (which I've been using for years without a single problem) will fail. I tried sending the videos to myself via Telegram Web and they'll go without audio...

    These btw are videos I have exported myself in Adobe Premiere and I've tried different export settings, still no success.

    I don't know what to do. I got them codecs and watched them youtube tutorials. I did my google research and found people with the same problem, but no solution.

    *cries in the corner*

    I don't really have hopes in solving this as fast as I need to, so if it ain't much to ask, please say a little prayer for me.

    Thanks in advance!

    Windows 10 won't play the audio of my mp4 videos

    Play MP4 in Media PLayer


    I am using mp4 files myself. Rather heavily. The files I have use the native h264 codecs for video and also something pretty standard for audio and they work. MP4 is a container format and I vaguely remember I once had a file, that did not play.

    I am not a real expert here, but you can try this:

    Download the static Windows version of ffmpeg and check your mp4 file with ffprobe.exe. It will output a bunch of information about that file, including the codecs used inside it. Knowing these codecs is a first step on the way to a solution.
