P: No sound/audio when playing mts video

Here is another explanation:

Seems to me that this would be SUCH a simple thing for Adobe to do for LR and plug this hole.
I would pay for a plug-in worst case.
I am typing this with the Adobe tag-line staring me in the face-
"Adobe Photoshop. See what's possible"

Well Adobe, we sure can see what's NOT possible.

Apparently Adobe has elected not to pay licensing fees to Dolby that would be required for Dolby 5.1 sound to work in Lightroom. However, Adobe SHOULD provide a plug-in to allow users wanting this to get it if willing to pay an additional fee to cover Dolby licensing, preferably with option to down-convert Dolby 5.1 sound to 2-track stereo. Adobe has left this issue UNRESOLVED FOR YEARS going back to all previous versions. Does anyone know of a plug-in providing playback and/or downcoversion of Dolby 5.1 sound as 2-track stereo. I have yet to find a solution within Lightroom and continue to resort to alternate workflow solutions.

Having the same issue, really disappointed. My mts or m2ts files with 5.1 sound does play in lightroom cc, but without sound. When raw file is exported and played in VLC sound is present. Come on Adobe get this issue fixed..

If this is going to be a Photo and Video Library solution, we need to have 5.1 sound support....

Still an issue...

Please help us LR team.

I'm quite frustrated with this "feature". On the advice of a LR6 expert, I was planning to merge all my repositories and pictures to a master LR repository. I was bought on the idea and felt it made sense.
After hours importing all my m2ts files, I decided to play back a file and figured out that LR didn't support sound for that type of file.
Ahhh! And there wasn't a single warning at start of the process. It would have saved me a day of work.
LR6 team, please don't let your power users down.

Hi,
In lightroom 5.6. Once I try to import MP3 aduio music for slideshow. It says "This is not support music file". I would be really thankful if someone can help

Adobe should develop the product to accept a Sony Audio plugin for purchase of 5.1 support. Or buy the license and wrap it into the cost -NOBODY wants to downgrade their audio just because Lightroom is unsupportive but everyone shooting multiformats into one folder and metadata tagging in Lightroom is inconvenienced heavily - we also need audio import supported for field recorders.
I shoot stills / video and use remote mics when I work - all in one folder for storage.
If Bridge can do it .....just sell us LR PRO already and stop dragging your feet.
Love LR BTW.

This is a great idea! Any work arounds would be much appreciated. What do you say Adobe ????

I don't know if possible but it will be nice if when exporting m2ts with Dolby 5.1 and choose to encode them in h264 to be able to select to "copy" the audio stream as it is. Because now when you choose this option even the exported file has no sound, beause Lightroom tries to convert the audio to aac and as it seems fails becuase it cannot read it in the first place.
