Solution 3: Install appropriate codec pack - A Universal Solution

There are various free codec packs online which will allow us to decode and play MKV files. The disadvantage of this approach is that you have to download a lot of codecs but if you are only trying to play one type of video file. It is hard to find the right encoder for each MKV video. Another shortcoming is these codecs not always work well as MKV videos always been encoded in several ways.

Other solutions you may need:
VLC Player No Sound Solution: Solution 1, Unmute your VLC Player; Solution 2, select Tools > Preferences menu to open Preferences dialog, select Audio on the left, and confirm Enable audio is checked. Then Click Output module drop-down button and try a different default.

MKV Skipping Solution: Select Tools > Preferences menu to open Preferences dialog, then select All at the bottom of the dialog, and then select Input/Codecs on the left. On the right of the dialog, in Advanced group, set the value of File caching to 1000.

Choppy Solution: Try to disable hardware decoding. Go to Tools > Preferences menu, select Input/Codecs > Video codecs > FFmpeg. And then set the value of Hardware decoding to Disable in Decoding group.

For users who prefer to stick with VLC and do not want to convert MKV to VLC supported formats or use another MKV Player either, there are left with no choice but to tweak some settings with VLC itself or disable the hardware decoding. But it does not always work out and you may get confused if setting stuff is totally new to you. So tohelp you with can't play MKV in VLC Media Player playback trouble, finding an MKV Player alternative or MKV Converter will be more effective.
