Audio codec ? - Page 2

Usually virtualdub will tell what it needs to decode the file. If it's missing, it'll prompt it.

The summary field in file properties might help also.

Usually the problem is with wma2. Even if you download it from ms codec center it doesn't work.
Nimo codec pack will help with that...

I unistalled all my codecs and installed the Nimo 5.0 codec pack, still no sound

Are you certain the file has any sound?

Could you cut a little piece of that clip and send it to me?

In Windows Media player ver 7 , when I play an avi I get sound but no picture . Whats my problem?

Your problem is the lack of divx codec. Propably the audio is encoded in mp3 which you can decode but the video is in divx.
You too should get the nimo codec pack.

yep I know what the problem is, just the solution I have found does not fix it.

When opening the file in Virtualdub and going to file information it displays under audio Compression: Unknown (tag 2000), this means as I have found out that the audion is in AC3 format.

Now the solution to this I have read is you need to get the file iviaudio.ax (AC3 codec) pop it into your windows/system directory and register it or an easier way would be to install the Nimo 5.0 codec pack, I have done both and still cant get any sound.

ps in the end I had to get the Nimo codec pack from Grokster
