Windows – How to install opus codec for playback on Windows 10

audiocodecwindowswindows 10

How do I install the opus audio codec onto my Windows 10 machine? I have an mkv file with HEVC video and OPUS audio.

  • When I play the file in VLC, its fine
  • Windows 10 Film and TV app: there is video but no sound
  • Media Player Classic: there is no sound or audio.

The official site (http://opus-codec.org/downloads/) has the actual dlls, but nothing to 'install' them to windows. I also tried installing the Web Media Extensions from the Windows store, but that does nothing. I'm running Windows 10 Pro 1709 16299.371

  • What do I need to install to get sound for the Windows 10 films and tv app
  • What do I need to install to get sound and video for media player classic?

Best Answer

You can't install, in the package are exe files that you use in the command line.

Opus-tools provides command-line utilities to encode, inspect, and decode .opus files. Opusfile provides application developers with a high-level API for decoding and seeking in .opus files. DLLs for the required libraries libogg 1.3.2, libopus 1.1.1 and openssl, are also included in the binary package.
