No audio on single AVI file
 

I would imagine this has something to do with the AC3 or MP3 filter or whatever, but have no idea how to correct it. Can anyone help me troubleshoot this? The file plays fine in VLC Player and BSPlayer plays pretty much everything else properly, so whats up with this file?

BSplayer 2.57
Klite codec pack
Divx download
AC3filter (downloaded, installed, didn't do anything)

Pentium D, GTS 250

We've always and consistently advised against installing codec-packs.
(Having installed one also surely doesn't help trouble shooting.)

When you installed BS.Player, did you also allow it to "internally" install its preferred codecs/filters? (Internally meaning not interfering with your system's codecs/filters, but only for use by BS.Player itself.)
(If you didn't, you can still do so by activating "codecmanager.exe", which you can find inside the folder in which BS.Player was installed.)

What's your OS? Maybe update BS.Player. Meanwhile we're on version 2.63.1071.

Maybe report which codecs/filters BS.Player actually uses to display this video file. To find out, load the file and then ..
...rightclick > Options > Filters > Advanced
Also click on "Source" and on the [+]-signs in front of the filters/codecs shown to get further info (and access).
:wink:

XP SP3 is the OS.

Under the filters/advances/source it says:

I have run codecmanager and it says I have old versions of FFDShow and MPEG 2, it seems to download the latest versions, but codecmanager continues to report them being out of date, so I then updated ffdshow manually as well I did the AC3 install manually although I received no AC3 errors. I did not update any MPEG codecs.

Codec manager still reports a couple older codecs (including MPEG2), but wont let me uninstall or update them (doesn't work from within codecmanager at least, which is why I updated FFD and AC3 off net).

Where in the filters advanced menu am I supposed to be looking for usable information?

The.Avengers.2012.DVDRip.XviD-NYDIC ?

I have downloaded the sample and none of my programs identify an audio stream inside AVI container.
VLC doesn't play any audio stream
MPC doesn't play any audio stream
MediaInfo doesn't detect any audio stream
