I downloaded a video, mp4, and VLC plays it without sound, I tried adjusting the speakers but I guess that isn't the problem. I can get audio files to play with windows media player on this Dell Inspiron. Could it somehow have recorded just the video without the soundtrack? Also, there is a new version of VLC, 3.0.3, but both times I tried to download it, there was a message that the file was corrupted.

- For the failed download of VLC, first uninstall the current version you have and try to install the new version.
- The no sound issue could be an unsupported codec IE the way the ripper encoded the audio. Try these steps:
- Retry with latest version of VLC player,
- Try the video on your PC and see if there is sound, (not sure, but you may have tried this). If this is the case it is almost certainly a codex issue,
- If the above fails try MxPlayer from the playstore - will play almost anything and will notify you if there is a codex issue. (If this happens, IE it plays without sound visit the below link and follow the guide)
From what I can work out you cannot import updated codex into VLC player, so MxPlayer maybe the best option for this file.
Well, I just gave it another shot and it actually played the audio this time. Aside from some visual blurriness, it seems to be ok. Now all I have to do with this is figure out where the system has hidden it. What I have been doing is searching this pc, but is there a faster way?
