MKV Audio Not Working on Xbox but Works on PC

[jackkk]

Hi,
I have a problem with an MKV when trying to play it on my Xbox, either through the Extender or through the built-in video player.
I get a screeching noise instead of the audio. I have set up Shark007 the same as the AssassinHTPC blog and I have also tried the default settings. It is only this one video and it works perfectly on the PC.

The Xbox is connected directly to my TV via HDMI. My PC is a Win 7 64bit.

Does anybody have any idea of what the problem could be?
Thanks.

I'm fairly sure the Xbox doesn't like DTS audio, but I have no personal
experience with playback via the Xbox, so don't take my word for it.

Another issue could be that the audio is 'Header stripped'.
You could try remuxing the file, with applications like MkvMergeGui or MetaFox,
and see if that fixes the problem.

Thanks! Worked perfectly with MetaFox!
