AC3 Audio codec problem

Hi,

I have this problem. Every time I try to play a movied with the AC3 Dolby audio codec the player crashes. It does not matter which player I use.
Under the details of the error I get the following information:
AppName: realplay.exe AppVer: 6.0.11.853 ModName: ac3audio.ax
ModVer: 2.2.0.0 Offset: 0001121d

According to GSpot I have all codecs installed, so I really don’t know what’s wrong. Could somebody please help me?

Thanks

you rename “ac3audio.ax” to something like “ac3audio.ax.old”....

but for mine i dont get sound though. just try that

I had the same problem, then I found a working codec on http://www.divxmovies.com/faq/#4.4

Try this!

I just got the ac3 codec downloaded that Giulio posted and i have sound but it is so increadibly quite.... please help me

It will depend on how the video content was encoded as to how it will sound. If you’ve got the AC3Filter you can adjust the sound settings.

I find that all that’s needed it to turn up the Wave setting in Volume Control helps. If you’ve got XP:

Go to Start-Control Panel-Sound, Speech and Audio Devices and click on 'Advanced Volume Controls' (on the left). Now put the Wave setting up to the very top and adjust the Volume Control setting so it’s near the bottom.

Play the video content that’s got AC3 audio. While it’s playing gradually adjust the Volume Control setting until the volume’s at a good level.

Other than doing it that way you can also adjust the actual settings of the AC3Filter its properties. These can be accessed through the media player while you’re playing the video content.

i had de same problem “oj_simpson”, the sound is really low. I did what “FrightfoO” said to do but it still low, de wav sound was already on maximum, and im using divX and cant find the audio settings other then the basic volume control and thats on max already...what can i do to make it louder????

the http://www.divxmovies.com/faq/#4.4 ac3 audio codec solved my problem too. thanks very much!!

The AC3 codec solve de problem, thanks !!!

I’m having the same problem, crashing when trying to play stuff encoded in AC3 5-channel. Will downloading the codec linked in this thread fix it? And will I need to make those registry corrections to hear the volume properly?

hey Fright, I am using the AC3Filter V.70b and I have been trying to lower/raise the volume on all my channels simultaneously. The best solution would be to lower/raise the wave control in my audio panel but that doesn’t do anything to the sound. Am I missing something here? Is something configured wrong? I have to lower/raise the volume of each channel individually.

Great thanks to bea!
I modified windows registry and the sound is loud and clear - many thanks again.

also a major thank you to bea for the info with the registry entry. could hardly hear anything before that, now the sound is loud and clear.

thanx a bunch!

Yeah thanks Beau! Worked great!

Bea, thanks a lot!
