Vista - No audio in videos

No audio in videos

Hi,

I've just got a new laptop which has Vista Basic on. Everything seemed fine until I tried playing MPEG 2 videos: the video itself looked fine but there was no audio. I've spent hours on this now and I still can't find an answer to my problem. I'm getting desperate now: any help you can give me would be gratefully received...

Hey starkhart,

Wecome to Vista Forums!

When you try to play other types of videos (avi, mpg4, wma, ect), do they work ok?

Re: No audio in videos

Hi Starkhart,

What player are you using? A quick fix for the lack of Mpeg-2 sound would be to either use a codec package:

Vista Codec Package Homepage (VCP)

OR use VLC which plays virtually everything:

VLC media player for Windows

Good luck

Re: No audio in videos

Thanks for your responses...

Ben - avi and wma work fine, only the MPEG2s have a problem. They work fine on a laptop running XP...

Smarteyeball -I've tried installing the VCP pack but it hasn't finxed anything so far. I'm not really too sure what to do with it now I've installed it, to be honest. I have tried running the different MPEG settings, but there's no difference so far, but beyond that it all looks a little confusing.

Cheers for any further advice...

Re: No audio in videos

Hi Starkhart, normally installing the codec pack usually 'should' just work without really having to play with any settings. However, for you it doesen't seem to be the case

What player are you trying to play the MPEG2 files in?

Re: No audio in videos

Hi both,
I've tried playing them in WMP11, realplayer and Roxio Media Creator 9. Nothing doing...
I'll give VLC media player a go if you think that will work, but i'm not feeling too hopeful. And it won't solve the main problem, wihch is that i want to be able to edit these videos on Roxio...

Hi,

Did it work before you installed Roxio ?

Re: No audio in videos

Hi SIW2,

I have no idea if it worked before I installed Roxio as it was one of the first things I installed...
Could Roxio have done something to it?

Re: No audio in videos

Roxio has it's own mpeg2 codec I believe, so it's more than possible the issue may lay there.
