No sound from some MKV files

Hi,
I have a Samsung PN64D8000 TV. I am using Serviio to stream videos from my computer to the TV. However, there have been some MKV files that play with sound just fine on my computer, but when I play them on my TV through Serviio there is no sound. What can I do about this? Is there a transcoding profile you would suggest I use to get sound from the MKV files on my TV like I do on my computer? Thanks!
-Dave

Please provide details of the file that has problems (see my sig), and confirm which profile your using (it will be listed in the console).

Video file seems good.
Could you provide MediaInfo tool result ?
Don't know if AAC audio is support on mkv file with samsung device. Someone could confirm?

Hi,
How exactly do I get the MediaInfo tool result? If AAC audio isn't supported on MKV files with Samsung devices, is there anything I can do to still get sound from the MKV on my Samsung TV? Thanks!

Hi,
I have done a little more research on the forums and found a topic that solved the problem for me. Here is a link to the topic:
viewtopic.php?f=10&t=4143.
The only problem now is I can't fast forward or rewind with the video file. Is there a way to solve that problem? Thanks!
