The vast majority of codecs are already included in MX. w64codecs (which originated with mplayer but is no longer used by it) was last available in debian stretch/MX-17.
If there's a particular file type giving you problems let us know.

I'm just trying to fix the problem of videos freezing but the sound continues; it all started when I switch sound cables from the monitor to the speaker , but I there is no problem in the other OS install in the same hard drive MX is ; for the past month or so the updates have not been able to update the nvidia driver, but I did not have any problem until a couple of days when I switch cables; thank you responding to my problem.

Not a codecs issue at all then, but a hardware one.
There have been no Nvidia driver updates recently for Debian or MX; this is not a rolling distro.

Deb-Multimedia-Keyring is installed?
Code: Select all
wget https://www.deb-multimedia.org/pool/main/d/deb-multimedia-keyring/deb-multimedia-keyring_2016.8.1_all.deb
You have the right deb-multimedia-ppa version?
For MX23 bookworm use in your sources list:
Code: Select all
deb https://www.deb-multimedia.org bookworm main non-free
or
Code: Select all
deb ftp://ftp.deb-multimedia.org bookworm main non-free
But you can w64codecs download from server deb-multimedia =>
https://www.deb-multimedia.org/pool/non ... _amd64.deb
New mplayer-1.5 avaible here =>

Just be aware before enabling the deb-multimedia repo that @Stevo has warned many times that it doesn't use standard Debian package number versioning.
So there may be confusion during updates as to which version of certain packages are newer - those MX has already backported, or a deb-multimedia one.

so why is it not affecting Mint that is install in the same M.2 drive.
and no I don't have any of the multimedia repos install; MX has been flawless up to now so I use as it is given; but it is no use if I can't watch videos ; I did try switching drivers but xorg drivers have the same problem ; so is it time to reinstall MX ???

What is the kernel version of your mint install ? (And is it a liquorix version? )
There have been a few reports of some issues with 6.9.x liquorix kernels and one of the major work with them is in sound drivers. You *might* just try loading a 6.6.x liquorix kernel and see if it makes any difference.

Mint uses 5.15 generic
I try all the kernel available and the problem did not go away so I left it on the 6.9
