June 10, 200421 yr Hello,Where can I get the audio codec to prevent the following problem.http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/79528.jpgRegards,Alexander Martin.http://img33.photobucket.com/albums/v99/wa.../alexbanner.jpghttp://www.gould-stuff.com/warzieworld
June 10, 200421 yr Under Window Media Player tools menu, select player tab, and ensure the automatic updates is selected and the download codecs automatically is enabled. If WMP cannot find a suitable codec, then you will have to search the internet for the codec.Beware some codecs could have viruses.W. Sieffert Bill Sieffert
June 10, 200421 yr If it's not already on your CD or system waiting for you to install (or REinstall) have a look here:http://www.moviecodec.com/filetypes/Observe standard precautions with downloads..EDIT: Ooooops, you want AUDIO codecs.. sorry.I'm going to leave the link for movie codecs though, might come in handy for someone, sometime 8-)Here's a page for some audio codecs:http://www.moviecodec.com/downloads/audiocodecs.htmlAnd another site for both:http://www.free-codecs.com/
June 10, 200421 yr Thanks but I think I need to reinstall Windows.Windows Media Player is awful, as when music is played, it is all crackly and poor quality.Any other program like Winamp and it's fine.Looks like something internal. Any ideas?Regards,Alexander Martin.http://img33.photobucket.com/albums/v99/wa.../alexbanner.jpghttp://www.gould-stuff.com/warzieworld
June 10, 200421 yr If everything else works correctly, then why reinstall Windows. If you want to remove or reinstall Windows Media Player, do so under Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, Add/Remove Windows Components, deselect Windows Media Player, OK.If you reinstall WMP, make sure you download all the updates again.W.

June 10, 200421 yr Everything else is fine, but I want to reformat anyway. I am getting a new cpu soon so need everything clean.I also found that PMDG 737 sounds don't work. These are also wavs, and as I don't have this codec, I get no sounds.Anymore ideas?Regards,Alexander Martin.http://img33.photobucket.com/albums/v99/wa.../alexbanner.jpghttp://www.gould-stuff.com/warzieworld
June 10, 200421 yr >....These are also wavsHmmm, I'm getting lost now :-) ( not unusual though.. :-( )No .wav files play on your system ?Does a ".WAV" file playback require a CODEC ?Not up to speed on this at the moment,(I dig in only when I have problems) but something from past sound problems makes this come to mind...Seems like only the compressed files (.???) that had TONS of ATC speech etc. needed CODEC decompression.Thinking outloud here... might be way off base.
June 11, 200421 yr Check the MSFS Forum, Tips and Tricks Sub-forum, search for Lost ATC, No ATC, Lost Voices, etc. You should find my Compressed Audio Codec tip.W. Sieffert Bill Sieffert
