If you are seeing "EAC3 audio not supported" or missing sound for DTS/AC3 files in MX Player Pro , you need the ARMv8 NEON

The Identification: Users would dive into Settings > Decoder to see which version their device craved. The app would whisper a requirement, like "ARMv8 NEON."

  • Custom codec: Loaded successfully (version x.x).
  • AC3/DTS/EAC3 support: Enabled.

Audio Format Support: Restores playback for restricted formats including EAC3, AC3, DTS, and MLP.

The MX Player Pro Codec Armv8 Neon is a specialized custom library designed to restore full audio functionality—specifically support for EAC3, AC3, and DTS formats—that was removed from the official app due to licensing restrictions.
