Really frustration audio problem

2005-02-14, 03:19

When I try to watch some xvid movies I get the background sounds perfectly but the dialog is almost muted. I have tried using every selectable audio codec in config to no avail. If I use VLC I can hear everything like normal.

Is there any way to either fix this or use VLC as an internal player. VLC will play anything in any format .rar, .vob, .cue any format at all.

Thanks

I had a similar problem with all of my media. I turned off the 3D option on my sound card and it fixed the problem. Might be worth a look.

I tried that to no avil. Thanks for the idea though.

Hi,

muted audio is mostly because of an AC3 audio stream in the avi movies. Within the AC3Filter codec or FFDshow codec you can adjust the volume of the different channels of the AC3 stream. Perhaps this helps!

I had this exact same problem and adjusting the voice channel in the AC3 Filter or the FFD Audio Settings did help a bit, but I think I didn't solve my problem till after I installed new audio drivers and configured them to use "Surround Sound 5.1" and rebooted. I remember having to set something to "wave out" instead of "directx sound" too.

I tried that. It didn't work. It is not that all audio is muted just the dialog. The most important part. I gave up watched the movie with VLC but I would like to resolve this for the future.
