No sound while playing MKV with HTML5
audio, html, html5-video, video
Solution
It's because of the audio codec that was used. Chrome probably doesn't support it. No, I don't know how to fix it other than to find out what audio codec it's using and either change it or get a browser extension that will support it. I will engage you to convert the video into different format like MP4/OGG.
<video width="500px" controls>
<source src="yourvideo.mp4" type="video/mp4">
<source src="yourvideo.ogg" type="video/ogg">
Your browser does not support HTML video.

Your can VLC web plugin. It takes some few steps to configure and get it to work.
