MX Player is popular media player in Android platform with lots of Audio and video formats supports and most android users like to play their media files on this player.But in the recently updated version of MX player users are facing codec issue with audio formats like "audio format is not supporting" and most of this problem is with AC3 audio format.

AC3 is a file extension for surround sound audio files used on DVDs format. The AC3 file format was created by Dolby Labs for use in a Dolby Digital audio on DVD, Blu-ray and other digital video formats.Ac3 used to play DTS and DOLBY DIGITAL audio that give you Home theater like sound output.
But due to some license issue MX player had to remove AC3 from its codec and that's why MX player can't play AC3 audio ,and the sad thing is that most movies (like Dual Audio) come with ac3 Hindi audios.So is there any way to play these audio files ? This is possible if you use custom codec and this is what i am going to tell you. So follow below some easy steps to fix this .

  1. Download this All in one custom codec zip file from :Link 
  2. Done! Now put the zip file (don't unzip)to root directory of you SD card
  3. Now start MX player and instantly you will get notification like "custom codec found" so install it and restart your player
Now you can play any AC3 audio format movies even if you update it again to latest version no problem the added custom codec won't be removed.
