You should feed the mkv file into VideoInspector (http://www.kcsoftwares.com/?vtb) to find out what audio codec the file uses.
The VLC solution could work if the audio the mkv uses (which really could be anyone’s guess) is bundled in VLC... a toss of the die really.

Did you click the audio tab In Media Player Classic?

It may have been set to 0 instead of one, as some videos have more than one audio layer, with only a single layer of audio working.
