Audio problem with everything

[maureen]

Can somebody help please.I had a problem last with with a file i had which i was trying to encode with tmpgenc.The problem was eventually solved with a codec file.Now i have a problem with the audio side of the file.When i try to change the compression rate witth VirtualDub i get an error message- no audio decompressor could be found to decompres the source audio format.But when i open the files with G Spot i get -The following codec should be capable MPEG Layer 3 decoder.
The files all play fine in WMP and Power DVD.
Is there something else i should install or have i un-installed something i shouldnt when messing with codecs last week

Thanks Yf,
Im afraid it hasnt helped.I d/loaded it installed it.Opened the file and tried to change the compression rate and get the error message;-
ACM failed to suggest audio decompression format.
Is there anything else i could try.

I think its more of a codec problem that i have.Tmpegnc wont open my audio files either.So there must be something i did last week to get xvid files to work.I think ive uninstalled the wrong codec as i did try allot but as most didnt work i was uninstalling them.What i cant understand is the fact that WMP and Power DVD are still playing the files properly with the audio?.
Can anybody shed any light on this?.
