Play MKV on PS4 with Sound and Subtitle

PS4 can play MKV files but it has strict limitations on MKV files. PS4 supported MKV must be encoded with H.264/MPEG-4 video codec and MP3, AAC LC, AC-3 (Dolby Digital) audio codec, otherwise, you maybe meet MKV no sound issues on PS4. In addition, as a video container, MKV perhaps includes different subtitle format. But  at the moment only external SRT files work, SUB/ASS/SSA/MKS files do not work on PS4 Media Player. So if you want to play MKV files on PS4 with subtitle and sound, you should make sure the audio codec and subtitle format are supported by PS4.



What's more, to make it easier to play video with subtitle on PS4, you have to have external subtitle files named the same as the media file, in the same director. Sounds complex right? Actually, only if you transcode MKV to PS4 according to the codec requirement, you can play MKV files on PS4 with subtitle and sound without any hassle. To accomplish this, you need a MKV to PS4 Converter.
