Sound on ripped MKV files just static and pops

[Hartman360]

Hello!

I am new to the world of MKV conversion. I recently upgraded my PC with a Blu Ray drive, and thought I would back up my library.

The first movie I ripped from disc using MakeMKV worked great. The second (and now third) have just static where the sound should be with weird hissing and pops.



I am not sure if I have missed a step, or if I am doing something wrong...?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

How are you playing the file?

This issue is not related to the MakeMKV process, it is your playback software.

Well, Ill be damned. I went to open the older ones in Windows Media Player that played great previously and the sound it just static now as well.

I wonder what could have caused that?

Thanks for taking the time to respond. Much appreciated!

Lots of things. The type of stream on the disc, an issue with WMP and the splitter you're using, a muxing issue.

Try something like sMplayer for playback rather than WMP.

I find that if I listen to DTS-HD MA tracks, my video player (on Linux) has the same issue. I convert the tracks to flac and they are just fine.
