If your video has dts/dtshd/ac3/eac3/mlp audio tracks it won't play any audio. Only video will be played. So, I have re-compiled the ffmpeg sources with DTS/DOLBY audio support for our MX-Player lovers.....!!!
Instructions:
Downloading:
Download one of the following codec according to your platform as mentioned in the player (Go to Settings 》 Decoder 》Custom Codec. Codec required is usually mentioned there). If you are not sure then download the all in one pack (AIO).
Custom Codec v1.8.6 (For MX Player 1.8.6 & newer)
Arm v7-Neon
Arm v7-Tegra3
Arm v7-Tegra2
x86
AIO Pack
Installing:
Method : I
Keep the downloaded zip file in the root of your Internal memory or In downloads folder
Open MX Player
If compatible codec found, MX Player will automatically ask for the confirmation to use it as custom codec

Usage:

In H/W decoder:
If you want to play DTS while using HW decoder, goto Settings 》 Decoder & Enable software audio. By this the Video will be rendered by H/W decoder and audio will be rendered by S/W decoder. (If you want to use it for only particular files when you playing the video, press on audio selection button & Enable S/W audio. S/W audio will be used temporarily for that file.)

In H/W+ & S/W Decoders:
There is no special setting is required
