MX Player is one of the most popular video players for Android devices. It supports a wide range of video and audio codecs, allowing you to play just about any media file. However, in recent updates, MX Player has removed support for some codecs like AC3, DTS, and EAC3 due to licensing issues. As a result, many users face audio compatibility issues and error messages like “EAC3 audio is not supported” when trying to play certain video files.
The good news is that you can easily fix this by downloading and installing the custom codecs again in MX Player. In this guide, I will show you how to download and install the MX Player AIO ZIP file containing the EAC3 codec and other required codecs.
What is the MX Player AIO ZIP?
MX Player AIO ZIP is an all-in-one compressed file containing multiple codec libraries like EAC3, AC3, DTS, TrueHD, etc. By installing this single ZIP file, you can add support for all the required codecs instead of installing them one by one.
The AIO ZIP is available for different CPU architectures like ARM, ARM64, x86, x64, etc. You need to download the build suitable for your device’s CPU architecture for the codecs to work properly.
Why do you need the AIO ZIP for MX Player?
Without the codecs, MX Player will fail to play videos with EAC3, AC3, DTS, and other advanced audio formats. You will get errors like:
- EAC3 audio is not supported
- Audio codec AC3 not supported
- Audio codec DTS is not supported
By installing the AIO ZIP, you add support for these audio codecs in MX Player, fixing any compatibility issues. Your videos will play correctly with proper audio.
