Understand the symptom

What video plays but audio is missing usually means

No sound may come from the selected audio track, unsupported codec, passthrough setting, television or receiver rather than the stream itself.

Wrong audio track

The player may default to a silent or unsupported track.

Passthrough mismatch

Dolby or multichannel output may not be supported by the TV or receiver.

Codec limitation

Another player may decode the audio correctly.

Source issue

One channel may be missing a valid audio stream.

Step-by-step
