Does anybody know how to reinstall basic audio codecs for Windows 2000, which I have removed for mistake in Devidce manager in section - audio codecs? I think codecs like imaadp32.acm msadp32.acm
It is some way to reinstall it without reinstalling whole system?
Thank you.

Try this has worked for me same problem this was .

1. Choose Start>Control Panel and double click Add hardware, then click Next
.

2.Choose Add a new hardware device at the bottom of the list and click Next.


3. Click Install the hardware that I manually select from a list, and click
Next.

4. Select Sound, video and game controllers and click Next.
Select (Standard system devices) and click Have Disk.

5. Click Browse in the Install From Disk dialog box and open the folder C:\W
indows\System32.

You should see here mmdriver.inf. Select it and click Open.

6. Click OK in the Install From Disk dialog box.
If you see a warning about logo compatibility, just click Continue Anyway.

Now you should finally see a list of audio codecs. Amongst the other items,
you should find Microsoft ADPCM Audio Codec and IMA ADPCM Audio Codec. You n
eed to install them one by one so select either of these and click Next. Thi
s should re-install the codec.

It does ask for the machine to be re-started after you install each codec, I
installed them all together then restarted the machine. These instructions
are from the following web page and I followed the instructions for winxp an
d it worked for 2000.

To install the Imaadp32.acm codec just copy and paste it into the System folder (win 98) or the
System32 folder (win 2000). That’s all there is to it
