  • If you use "Movie player" (the default app) it will prompt you to install missing codecs. In case the answers below are too difficult ;-) – Rinzwind Mar 21 '16 at 18:21
  • For me the system wasn't able to install required codecs for some reason, but I installed VLC media player and it played the audio right away. – Íhor Mé May 05 '18 at 21:32

Unable to locate package ubuntu-restricted-extras?
Make sure that all Ubuntu repositories are enabled.

Open a terminal and execute :

sudo add-apt-repository main
sudo add-apt-repository universe
sudo add-apt-repository multiverse
sudo add-apt-repository restricted

Now install the packages :

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras

Note :

Maybe the ttf-mscorefonts-installer lets the installation process hang, because the license agreement is hidden in the background. So make sure to accept the Microsoft license agreement.

Go to software sources and enable restricted and multiverse repositories, then update and install ubuntu-restricted-extras package

Hope if helps
