Subject: No sound when playing mpeg-2 file




Posts: 7

I have just recently installed the Codec Pack V7.1.0.-Standard.

Before installing it, I was unable to play some mpg files (others worked fine). Real Player announced I needed a codec for these files, as they are mpeg-2.

Since I installed the codec pack, I can now play the files, in both Real player and in Windows Media Player 11. In both cases, I the video now plays, but there is no sound at all. Is there a setting somewhere which should be changed?

I have windows XP, SP2.
Windows Media Player 11.
Real Player 11.
Quick time 7.4.5. (this does not play it at all)

Thanks for any help

Hi, it's an easy problem to fix.
You can either download and run the registry patch attached to this post, or follow the instructions below:

Click "Start", go to "Programs", followed by "cole2k Media - Codec Pack", then click "AC3Filter Configuration".
When you see the dialogue appear select the top tab marked "System" and tick the following boxes: AC3, DTS, MPEG Audio, DVD.
Click "OK" to apply the settings.

All the boxes mentioned were already ticked. Anyhow, I clicked "apply", for safety. There is still no sound.

There are many other boxes referring to sound. Should some of those be ticked? For example, default audio renderer: nothing is ticked. Force sound card to reinit ... is not ticked.

Thanks

The settings won't work correctly until you close and re-open media player.
The default settings are normally fine.

Have a look at the SPDIF tab at the top and see if the "Use SPDIF" box is checked or unchecked, it should be unchecked.

It was indeed unchecked.

What is the next step? Is there a next step?
Thanks for any assistance

Hi, there are still a few things you can do.
Try the following:

Click "Start", go to "Programs", followed by "Cole2k Media - Codec Pack", then click "ffdshow Audio".
In the right hand side you should see a list of formats and a decoder collumn, where it says "MP1, MP2" click where it says disabled next to it and select "libmad" from the little list.

I think it's safe to say those files are not standard, you'll have to find out what is different from normal mpeg-2 files.
There is a tool called GSpot that allows you to see what codec's have been used and the encoding method for a file, you can download it here http://www.headbands.com/gspot/v26x/GSpot270a.zip

It says Codec MPEG2, Name MPEG-2, codec not installed.
Proposed codec and tests:unable to render video.


Does that mean it is hopeless?!?

The last thing you could try is Media Player Classic, it's like the old Windows Media Player, but has a lot of enhancements and is good for playing broken files.

You can download it here http://dfn.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/guliverkli/mpc2kxp6490.zi...
