Run the file through avimux 90% of the time with no audio its bad header/riff data in the avi takes about 30 seconds rebuild it with avimux

Thank you for advice. But this is still a bug because at least 2 media players play this file (as well as other episodes) perfectly: Popcorn A110 and WD TV Live. So A300 must understand this header or whatever as well.

In addition VirtualDub is the most used mixer, A300 must support it.

What about 1 channel (mono)? Maybe A300 can only play stereo?

[halfelite]

that might be it there has been off and on things for mono, if it plays on both A110 and wdtv live it should play you should cut a sample and upload for others to test as a mediainfo report doesnt give the syabas devs much to go by.

[Tolik]

Ok. Can you advise how to cut a sample (without spoiling any headers)?

[halfelite]

that is the issue, a cut will rebuild it. but if you cut it and rebuild and it still has issues it would point to something else,

[Tolik]

Could you please just get the file here? http://kvn.rusdivx.net/download.php?id=1...fo.torrent
I verified this torrent, download took just 2 minutes, no registration was needed.

Collected more information.
1. Run the file through old VirtualDub 1.5.1 - still no sound
2. Downloaded another rip of the same show (Xvid+mp3 stereo) - sound is Ok
3. Mixed video from the 1st file with stereo sound from the 2nd - sound is Ok
4. Changed audio settings: PCM Passthrough -> Downmix - sound is Ok for all files!

In short, MPEG1 MONO does not work when PCM is set to Passthrough.
MPEG1 stereo works regardless of this setting.

Please fix this bug. I believe PCM setting should not affect MPEG1 mono sound.

This applies to HDMI only. Sound through SPDIF is Ok for all of the above.
