No audio from inserted videos, HELP!

[ak-outdoorman]

I have been using VideoStudio since version 8 (and all subsequent versions). I have also successfully used versions 9, 11, and now X4 on this same machine. About 2 months ago, every video file that I bring into VS no longer plays back with audio and when I render a video with these clips, the out-putted video file (regardless of file format) also has no audio. It doesn't matter what type of clip I insert (mpg, AVI, MOV, etc) none of them playback with audio within VideoStudio. All files ALL play audio back in a stand-alone media player just fine. I downloaded the AC3 file & filter with no success as well. Please advise as to how I should proceed. thanks!

Have you updated your sound or graphics card driver recently? If not, I would do so and see if that makes a difference. Sometimes Windows updates screw things up with VS.

XviD: http://downloads.xvid.org/downloads/xvidcore-1.3.2.zip
Windows Media Player: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/wind ... dia-player or just download the Windows Encoder at http://www.microsoft.com/expression/pro ... rview.aspx
