Sound in avi files

[FastRico]

I just finished downloading an .avi file with using bittorrent p2p. The file plays but the sound doesn't seem to work. I have analysed the file with GSpot codec information appliance (http://www.headbands.com/gspot/) and get the following warning:

DirectShow partially succeeded to play file. The actual text of the error or warning is:

0x00040258: VFW_S_AUDIO_NOT_RENDERED - Cannot play back the audio stream: no audio hardware is available.

The following combination of filters were used:

{H:\torrents\Sopranos ..-..jo44.ShareReactor.avi} (Video Source)
{AVI Splitter} (Video Splitter)
{DivX Decoder Filter} (Video Decoder)
{Video Renderer} (Video Renderer)

Does anyone know what the problem is? :icon_scra

The audio information in the file is as follows

Audio Format:
Code: 0x0055
Name: WAVE_FORMAT_MPEGLAYER3 (MP3)
Vendor: ISO/MPEG
The following codecs should both capable of processing this format:

--> {Fraunhofer IIS MPEG Layer-3 Codec (advanced)}
--> {MPEG Layer-3 Decoder}


Thanks

Try it out with a freeware program called bsplayer. Plays virtually every video file available!

Just download those 2 codecs you got there.
