Why wont GOM Player play audio on an .mkv file?
I am trying to play a 720p bluray file in .mkv format on GOM player, but it will not play audio. A message pops up that tells me that I need to find a “codec”. I was recommended VLC player, which works just fine, but I prefer to use GOM. How can I get video and audio to play on GOM player using an mkv file? What is a “codec” exactly? Where would I find this “codec”?
