no audio!!

[miketd]

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.

Reboot...

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

[TSUNAMI CODEC SNIPER DUH THERE IS A LOT ON MY LIST mmmm this is scary

MmMmMm actually this is very interresting i'm having a big problem as well with codecs,


<------ AND WHY NOT FOR XP FFS ?? !!!

I tried to supress them, in the device manager, i try to install them back going on the microsoft Website i even change manually some file on the /windows/system32... and all those didn't work ( installing pack of codecs and so on and i had reboot like 15 times for nothing) so what about if i delete all the codec coz it seems my operating system ( xp )
don't even find basic codec like pcm or alaw, a talk in yahoo messenger don't work as well ( codec h.261 or G.723.1 i think like for netmeeting audio ) but i can still play sound like
wav or mid as well ya know the sound that play for event in windows shutdown and so on.....



So i get rid of all of them than install window's one back ????

Microsoft windows audio codec

mmmm seems i'm gonna have to reboot a few times more

:

DO I REALLY DELETE THEM ALL ??? or Only the bad one ?? ALL mmm i don't feel it
