TMPGEnc: No sound during edit

[a529612]

There is no sound output during the editing process (cutting frames, etc). How do you get sound? Thanks!

For TMPGEnc's no audio problem, please read this:

If you are getting no sound during playback when editing then it usually means it requires the AC3 audio plugin from TMPGEnc.

I can be wrong but as far as I 've known TMPGEnc Sound Plugin AC3 doesn't work with TMPGEnc Plus though

I read somwhere that it works with both TMPGEnc and TMPGENC DVD Author.

If I remember correctly, as stated at the TMPGEnc Plus web site (http://www.pegasys-inc.com/) the TMPGEnc AC-3 sound plug-in does not work with TMPGEnc Plus but works with the replacement TMPGEnc XPress.

Thats why I go to other locations to get AC-3 audio for authoring, places like Vob Edit, DGIndex. And use TMPGEnc Plus for video only for frame clipping and encoding.

that's right. TMPGEnc DVD Author, TMPGEnc Xpress, TMPGEnc MPEG Editor.

I downloaded this and installed it with right click but TMPGEnc still says I need to buy their AC3 codec to get audio. How do I get this to work with TMPGEnc?

FYI, I'm using TMPGEnc DVD Author 1.6. Thanks!

Yes, I found AC3ACM.acm under "system32".

TMPGEnc says it can't find the Dolby Digital encoder under "environmental setting" (highlighted in red) and asks me to install their own AC3 plug-in.

[LT. Columbo]

mine says that too in environmental settings, but it still works.

I downloaded your AC3 filter but still no sound. I rebooted and nothing happens. Do I need a sound card? I'm currently getting sound out of the built-in desktop PC speaker on the mobo.

[LT. Columbo]

you shouldn't need a reboot. that's all i've ever had ,never had a problem. do you have other codec packs or stuff like that on your PC?

what is the exact error TMPGEnc gives you, post the screenshot

does the origianl file/disc play properly on the PC?

[a529612]

The error message is exactly the same as your screenshot.

The source files and DVD will play just fine.

How do I check for other codecs? I installed these:
