I find that VLC Player does not play sound from 3gp files. It plays the video without problem but not the sound. I also checked if the audio channel ahd been disabled, but it did not help. It plays the sound of tyhe format without a hitch.
Can any body tell me how i can hear the soud in VLC. Currently I use GOM player to hear the sound

i'm facing similar problem with "DivX" files. when i play them on DivX player, only "Left Speaker" works, but if i play it on VLC player, it works normally (both l/r speakers work)
