Audio Codec Error In Media Player

Anonymous

I have downloaded a movie from the internet and whenever I try to launch it using Media Player ( not windows media player , which seems different ) , I get an error saying "We can't play the audio for *movie name.mp4* because it's encoding settings aren't supported. You can still watch the video." , and I tried downloading "Media Features Pack" from the settings but I couldn't find it , so I think it's because it's already installed. Any ideas on how to fix it ?

    You can download the k-lite codec pack here: https://k-lite-codec-pack.en.uptodown.com/windows

    But there are many options to do compared to VLC which is simpler.

    Hello Bara, sorry about your problems. My name is Marco and I will do my best to help you.

    Some videos and audios use different codecs that Media Player does not have.

    You can download VLC Media Player which supports all codecs.

    Here is the link:
