1. Download the AIO 1.7.32 codec package zip, and transfer it to default Downloads folder on your Android phone or tablet. This all-in-one package contains the codec versions for hardware decoders there are - Arm v7-Neon, Arm v7-Tegra3, Arm v7-Tegra2, Arm v6 VFP, Arm v6, Arm v5TE, x86, MIPS - preventing you from trying to determine which one you have on your gear;

2. Fire up MX Player, and go to Settings>Decoder>Custom codec (scroll to the end of the list for that one);

3. Point the basic file browser to the aio.1.7.32 zip file you just placed in the Downloads or another folder of choice;

4. The MX Player will automatically pick the right codec for your device, and restart itself to finish the process;

5. If you want to check if the codec pack has definitely been set as default, go to the three context menu dots up right, choose Help>About, and you should see it reading "Custom codec 1.7.32" - this way you will know that the right codec has been installed properly for sure. If for some reason sound doesn't play, check the Settings>Decoder options, and set it to "Use H/W+ decoder" or "H/W+ audio on S/W video," if you have set software video decoding previously for some reason;

6. That's it, you can now play any video file with sound on your beloved MX Player. Enjoy.
