Mx Player Custom Codec Eac3 Extra Quality Review
If you are looking for the "extra quality" version of the MX Player Custom Codec to fix the EAC3 (Dolby Digital Plus) audio format issue (where you hear no sound), here is the solution.

- If passthrough not possible → Software decoding + Downmix to stereo (set to “Surround downmix” for better spatial feel).

- Audio offset – Use if sync issues occur with heavy EAC3 tracks.
