Well I go to watch an .avi file today and it has no sound... everything else works, mp3 playback, .wmv in mediaplayer has sound, .mpg has sound.

It is definately not muted in the player or anything.

I cannot find any option that would mute or disable it...

Tried reinstalling MP10, divx codec and the allin1 codec pack I have been using. Nothing :/

Anyone got any ideas?

(obvious) have you tried other .avi files?

Try Reinstalling direct x
Also get "gspot" can tell you where its f***ing up.

You have to install all audio codecs. There is ones like ac3 filter, i think its called. That always worked for me. go to www.freecodecs.com and download all the audio decoders and see if that helps.

or try playing it in videolan

You have to install all audio codecs.

Yeah just keep installing stuff, i dont see how you could go wrong.

http://x264.nl/ Is the only one i have installed and no problems so far.

Tried all the stuff suggested

free-codecs.com is where i got the allin1codec pack, also tried the xpcodecpack
tried that x264 thing
tried the ac3filter

Nothing in Windows s***ea Player 10

Installing videolan = win


Maybe I somehow did something to MP10... oh well it was arse anyway, I was actually looking for an alternative. Guess I found it now :) Thanks evinco!

are you sure you don't have mute on?

DefilerPak and Winamp ftw.

Yes I am positive mute is not on, as all other formats will play with sound fine.

Unless there is some specific divx or Xvid sound setting hiding somewhere I can't find.

Klite codec pack.

Also, try GSpot. It should tell you what type of audio the file is looking for. If that fails there is another media codec tool called VideoInspector that seems pretty good.

Klite f***ed me over so badly, just use gspot and use the codecs that you need.
