No Sound In AVI File On Playback !

[eskimojo]

heres my problem
i've downloaded an avi file: "*XViD AVI"
when i play the file back in my pc
the picture quality is perfect but it has no sound !
i've downloaded other avi files and on play back picture & sound are OK.
i have windows xp i tried playing the file in:
PowerDVD, DivX Player. RealPlayer & Windows media player but all have no sound.
i'm i missing a plug in or something like that ?
please anyone help me if you can

You're missing an audio codec. Use GSpot to find out which codec's used.
...and remove the file name. Re-read the AUP!

DVDSCR Only have subs no (Audio).

Read the rules "Again".

thanks for the replies.
i've install and ran gspot
and it says i need XviD
where do i do and get this XviD codec ?
MANY THANKS

[mats.hogberg]

XviD is a video codec. Not audio. This cool site is so damned smart, you just have to type "XviD codec" and it creates a link for you to it, see?! Take a look at GSpot again, and this time look at the audio part.

PS! edit out the whole file name - "Xvid AVI" is enough. DS

thanks for the replies. OK
i've installed "XviD codec"
The Audio In gspot says:
Name: ac3 (0x2000) Dolby Laboratories, Inc
Stat: 2 compatible codec installed
but still i have no sound !
i must be doing something wrong
PLEASE HELP
THANKS AGAIN

Try installing AC3Filter or the AC3 ACM Decompressor.




Oh .... and turn your speakers on !

Installing "AC3Filter " Has Done It
The DVD Files Now Play With Perfect Audio.
