I have recorded a few video clips on my mobile, Orange Sanfrancisco. When i play it back i can hear the audio.

When i transfer the video files (mp4) to my laptop and play them there is no sound.

The laptop is running W7. When i play the clips on window media player or VLC media player there is no sound. These video clips play perfectly with sound on another laptop.
Problem with having access to internet is that i get asked by many to solve their problems :( Well at least i learn something on the way :D

    Try downloading the k-lite codec pack (Google it), should sort it out. This is assuming that you have sound drivers already installed to the laptop and it's a no-go of course.

    Use VLC media player instead though for playing music id stick with windows media player.

    vlc plays pretty much anythin and u can adjust the aspect ratio for full picture etc

    Normally use VLC but in this case the mp4 video file does not play the audio.

    When using the camcorder it saves the files as .3gp

    When i used an app to record a clip it saved it as .mp4

    Initally both formats did not play audio on laptop. Now they do.
