Videos With Multiple Audio Tracks Playing Simultaneously

[adabo 2]

For some odd reason, WMC is playing a lot of my videos with multiple audio sources simultaneously. For example, an anime might have Japanese and English audio tracks. Instead of (logically) playing the default track, it's playing both at the same time.

Is there anyway to fix this to only play one?

 

*Edit: Just a thought, could it have something to do with my language settings in WMC? Since the Japanese audio is default, and WMC is trying to play English?

 

*Edit2: Tested the video with WMC DVD language setting set to Japanese and it still plays both tracks at the same time. I think I should test all my dual audio sources. I know it did this for Happy Gilmore, so I stripped the French audio since I'll never use that anyway.

 

*Edit3: Tested several movies which contain 2 or more audio tracks and WMC plays all of them at the same time.

Gotta be a codec problem.  What do you have installed?

Thanks for the response ebr

 

I have FFDShow Tryouts and MatroskaSplitter-x64 (gabbest_splitter_enable). However I don't know where to find an actual list (besides System Information) that gives what you're looking for.

 

Btw, I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate x64.

I had this issue as well till i removed MB completely and all codecs, rebooted and installed only MB and LAV codec (see my guide) and it resolved itself. You dont need FFDshow and Mkvsplitter. Also my guide is for making audio and subtitle switchable via remote.

[ebr 15576]

Yeah, uninstall all your codecs and just install LAV.

MatroskaSplitter is outdated but I prefer ffdshow for ff, rewind and chapter support in mkv. Better to use the lav slitter instead. If you don't care about those things it is best to use lav for everything.

Many thanks to all of the replies! I will heed the suggestions and use Lav codecs.

 

Thanks for the the guide Saitoh183, it will help a lot.

@Saitoh183, You mentioned not needing ffdshow, so how can I set up the remote to toggle subtitles?

[saitoh183 137]

Look at my guide..i do use FFdshow for video so i can use subtitles via remote with MCE Remote

I clearly have a lot to learn about codecs and multimedia. Thanks for the response!
