no sound in some avi's with Media Player Classic

[DraWing]

Hi. Some avi files have no sound when I play them with MPC. There's no problem with other players (WMP, VLC). MediaInfo says they are normal DivX vids with MP3 audio stream and GSpot says there are 4 compatible codecs installed. Even MPC "finds" the audio stream (audio1) but won't play the sound. What could be the problem? I've tried already to disable/enable the internal audio switcher without success. Thanks for any help.

Try uninstalling / reinstalling mpc

Make sure MPC's MPEG audio decoder is enabled. Also try MPCHC. It has many more internal decoders and many other improvements.

There's no installation for MPC (stand-alone executable). I've even tried older versions, same problem.

MPEG audio is enabled. I've tried MPCHC, still the same problem.

Check the MPEG Audio filters settings (double click on it to bring up the options dialog).

@jagabo
Yep, I got the same settings. Played around with them but to no avail.

Under View -> Options -> Playback -> Output -- try the different DirectShow Audio settings.

Under View -> Options -> Internal Filters -> Audio Switcher -- try the different options.

Thanks jagabo. Most of the (former mute) avi's have sound now. I checked what they all had in common and they were mostly monophonic. So I activated "Enable custom channel mapping" in Audio Switcher and the sound is working now. But I don't understand why some (stereo) avi's still have no sound in MPC while they work perfectly fine in other players?

Do you have a karaoke filter in your audio device? Make sure it's turned off.

No karaoke filter. Anyway, 98% of the avi's have sound now in MPC. Thanks a lot for your help!
