0x0055(MP3) ID'd as MPEG-1 Layer 3

HI all,
I hav elooked everywhere for a solution to this so maybe somone here has had the same problem.
I downloaded a movie, “7 seconds” , but there is no sound.
Gspot says i need the codec
0x0055(MP3) ID’d as MPEG-1 Layer 3.
i downloaded an mpeg1 layer 3 codec but still no joy, is there a particular codec that fixes this or do i need to remove all my cods and upgrade?
thanks, I’m sure i wn be alone with this query.

Download this:http://www.free-codecs.com/download/AC3_Filter.htm

I tried downloading the ac3 codc as you suggested and i have run Gspot and avicodec which both say i should be able to watch the vid but still no sound, any other suggestions?

i have the same problem, help me please

MPEG-1 Layer 3. is included in this from the link I gave you:http://www.free-codecs.com/download/MPEG_Layer_3_Codec.htm and Frounhofer is included in any codec pack All in One or XP Codecs or K-Lite.Be sure reinstall Xvid and Divx.If you don’t have sound only for one file try a different player like VLC or BSplayer if is no sound on your pc reinstall the driver for your sound card.

i have installed fraunhoffer’s codec for tag 85 and there is no improvements. im using divx. i installed winamp to get the codec and it dosent help. and i cant play the file in winamp. do you think i should try one of the players you recommended?

The VLC is using his codecs same BSplayer both freeware.Won’t hurt to give a try.

vlc player was the answer to my problem. thanks alot

Yep, VLC player sorted it for me as well. Thanks

You guys are awesome, I’ve been trying to play an avi file through media player and power DVD, no joy!! after googling the codec i needed, it came up with your site. i downloaded vlc media player and hey presto, i have sound!!!

Thanks guys!!!

Hi just to say i had the same problem using winamp and found that
downloading VLC the way forward, altho i found that re installing the fraunhoffer mp3 codec sorted the problem so now Winamp and all media players work fine. heres a link to a useful codec package.

Same problem here i tried about 5 media players none would work. I tried the VLC player it is great. I’m deleting the other players. Thanks guys!

Why does VLC work when Winamp doesn’t? Just interested.

Probably won’t get a response, but worth a try.
