What happened to the sound?

[ShadowRider]

After I encoded to VCD, I can play the MPEG file, but hear no sound. In fact, every video file on my computer hasn't got any sound anymore?! But my midi files still can play sound, why is that? How can I make it so that I can hear sound again?

[poopyhead]

did you play your VCD on another comp and see if there's sound?

also, make sure in your volume settings that nothing is muted.

the vcd still had sound on another computer, and no sound was not muted because I could still listen to midi files just not mpeg or RM files. Maybe I pushed a botton?

[snowmoon]

Midi has a diffrent mixer control independant of PCM data ( pcm = mpg, rm, .wav, mp3, .... )

Double click on the little speaker in the system tray.

Double check that the wave balance is turned up and not muted.

[ShadowRider]

Yeah, that was what was wrong. My wav sound was down at zero. But why did that happen? Does TMPGEnc Plus does that after encoding?

[snowmoon]

No, but the volume control in WMP alters just the WAV volume, not the master volume control.

Just as long as the sound works now i'm happy, thanks alot snowmoon
