    Tried with multiple audio renderers. .MKV file.

    it shows up in the mixer... other files will play with sound just fine.

    Actually, no .mkv files are playing sound.

    what kind of MPC-HC do you have installed? Standard? CCCP packaged one?

    What is the sound format? Did it suddenly stop working?

    It's CCCP. I uninstalled and am reinstalling now.

    I don't know what the sound format is. How can I check?

    edit: reinstalling seems to have worked

    Well, when you're playing the file, right click in the view screen and check properties. You'll be able to see the video encode codec (H264, Xvid, etc), and audio formats (AC3, FLAC, etc). Also subtitle files.

    Anyway, CCCP uses a separate audio handler (ffd Audio) to take care of the audio decoding. You might have inadvertently changed some settings.
