    no audio!!

    I have a problem that I just can't solve (and i read the stickies). Here goes: My game theater xp sound card got fried and so im forced to use the integrated ac97 sound on my motherboard. The problem is no I get no sound in lots of files (i dont know if this is related, but i did uninstall the game theater xp sound drivers). I ran GSpot and found that all the files have audio encoding of: 0x0055(MP3) ID'd as MPEG-1 Layer 3. However, GSpot also says that I have "2 compatible codecs installed". Anyway, these codecs don't seem to be working. I've tried everything i can think of to fix this problem. I first uninstalled all my codec packs that i could find. THen I reinstalled nimo codec pack (which is what i was using before and it worked fine). THat didn't word so I uninstalled it and installed the klite codec pack. That didn't work either. I next tried the codecs from divx.com and that didn't work! I can't get any sound of files with audio encoding of MPEG-1 Layer 3!!! Furthurmore, i cant figure out how to unistall the 2 remaining codecs. Please help me. Another weird thing is that I can still see video of the divx movies even though ive uninstalled every codec pack i have which i guess means i have some lingering codecs.

    Thanks,
    Michael

    Do a Googlesearch for the Radium .MP3 codec.

    Install.

      i installed that too, doesn't work. I guess my question is, how to i clean out my system of old codecs so i can start fresh? I Went to the control panel / sound and audio devices / hardware / audio codecs / and removed them all but microsoft pcm controller. Yet, gspot still tells me i have the two compatible codecs installed! Help! How do i get rid of them!?

        Use Codec Sniper and get rid of em. Make sure you don't get rid of any codecs Microsoft installs though, so you don't have to download them again
