problem with wav files

vivrantpig · June 26th, 2003, 09:38

well i posted before but was not too clear. ok whenever i try to do anything involving wav files something will popup saying something like u dont have the decompressor. i dont understand. i can play wav files fine. i cant use tmpenc to convert wav files. i cant edit audio in virtualdub and save it to wav. if anybody knows how to solve this problem please help. its very annoying

ps- ive tried installing windows xp over again to make sure it wud install any files that were deleted. the problem still continues. (i did not do fresh install, i did upgrade)

Your probably missing some required audio codecs. What specifically are you trying to do?

try changing to another OS..

Like I said. Specifics. Where did the wave files come from? What exactly are you trying to convert to wave? Have you tried using Winamps built in wave disk writer option?

Any wav file? Even if you record it yourself, or rip it straight from one of your CDs?

When you said you re-installed Windows, Do you re-installed soundcard drivers too?

Try looking for new drivers in soundcard homepage.

Since Windows 3.11 nothing more than OS and soundcard drivers, had to be installed to manage wav files.

The drivers must be 'corrupt'. I think.

Take a look at Windows' 'Devices Manager'
