I haven't had problems with mkv files encoded in AC3 sound with any of my android devices. The problem I have is with mkv files with DTS soundtracks. It isn't a supported format in android. I use a program called HandBrake for those mkv's with DTS soundtracks to re-encode the file with AC3 6 Channel Discrete.

I don't have the Android device you refer to, but use mkv(H264,AC3) encoded videos and they play back fine.

I too use Handbrake and other programs to change video formats.

I also played vob files with 5.1 sound tracks on my Android systems and they play fine with downmixed audio.

I use MX Player Pro and BSPlayer on my Android systems which both identify 6 channel audio.

The problem is that most Android HDMI implementations only output a downmixed 2 channel audio stream.

I've played the same videos(mkv encoded H264 and AC3) via HDMI on my Alienware notebook and it outputs the full 5.1 sound track.

Try MX Player from Play Store. It plays much of all formats 'out-of-the-box'.
