So i just got a call from a client who said they can’t hear audio when they are playing a movie. The first question i asked was “Are you playing a DVD or a video that you downloaded from the internet?”. Mostly because I thought he probibly downloaded some movie from somewhere in divx format.
I highly suggest if you are using windows media player to watch video or other media, do yourself a favor and stop. There are so many other far better media players than WMP. One that I highly recommend is VLC. You can find it here http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ VLC will normally be able to play pretty much anything you throw at it. ANYTHING….
But…
Some people encode movies or other shows into divx but use whats called AC3 for the audio. You might need to also download and install the latest AC3 filter software to your machine before the audio will work. You can find the download here : http://ac3filter.net/
