Picture is fine - Audio is just a hiss

I tried playing the following file on my C200, but the audio did not work.

Does anyone know why this is?

Code:

Format_Settings_ModeExtension : MS Stereo

That would be my guess.

I also have movies with video and no sound and the audio is in spec.

Is there a cure?

[Specter]

Remux into a MKV container using MKVmergeGUI.

Thats always the cure.

That sorted it, and only took 3 minutes!

Thanks.
