"Audio Codecs disappear, error message" you cannot compress the audio. "

Original title:audio codecs disappear

Most of my codecs for encoding have disappeared or, on the contrary, is hidden and stopped working.

I have this same problem on all my machines running Win XP Pro SP3 which makes me think that it may be caused by a recent patch.

If I go to control panel, sounds and audio, hardware devices (!), the properties of Audio Codecs, I see all the codecs correctly listed there:

-Codec Audio IMA ADPCM
-Codec Audio Microsoft ADPCM
-Microsoft CCITT G.711 Audio Codec
-Microsoft GSM 6.10 Audio Codec
-Fraunhofer IIS MPEG Layer-3 Codec (Pro)
-DSPGroup True speech
-msg723.acm
etc. up to a total of 15

But when I try to record any audio file with one of my audio programs, most of the codec options have disappeared and I only have the following choices:

-GSM 6.10
-IMA ADPCM
-Microsoft ADPCM
-PCM

All the others have disappeared, including MPEG Layer-3.  This happens in all audio processing programs, including Fraunhofer MPEG Layer-3 producer who has now NO compression option.

It seems that compression codecs are still there, but somehow Windows Live upward when reported availability for audio programs.

Most of the audio programs sound real need until I can choose the compression settings and then, as I say, no choice of compression ACM don't appear.

BUT

VirtualDUB lets me select the compression settings before even I have all selected audio real and in this case all the codecs and options appear. So I can choose to compress using MPEG Layer-3 and all the choices appear.  But when I select then any specific audio stream disappear all the choices.

It is as if Windows says "you can't compress THIS audio. I wonder if it is that something caused by a recent patch because it happens in all my computers (all running win XP Pro SP3).  I wonder if it may be something related to incorrect DRM restrictions.

I can't compress audio in any of my machines.  Help, please.

Well, I think I finally thought to it and the problem is not with the operating system or audio program, but with the audio from the source itself.  Apparently, the video recording reports audio as having a non-standard 11024 instead of the standard 11025 sampling rate and this is sufficient for audio programs to see it does not match the standard 11025.  If I have to "convert" the audio to 11025 then the problem will not occur.  I hope it's resolved then.

    These error messages are a pain in the neck to extract useful information.

    I suggest that you do a search online 'pilot audio free downloads' and find another audio program for your PC.

    If you find something that works for your satisfaction - remove your original pain in neck audio software and make sure you make your audio program newly found the 'default' device.

    Realtek and NVIDIA, for example get stuff good free audio driver.

    If the new program does not work - it would be a good indication that you have hardware on your PC, drive problems and no amount of play more with to try to correct the audio software will help. Period

    Hi nanditaberi,

    Since when are you facing this problem? What were the changes to the system between the time where everything has worked, and when you noticed the problem?

    This problem may be caused by this security software on the computer, uninstall them might solve the problem.

    Example: AVG, Zone Alarm

    Important:

    O before you uninstall the security software disconnect the computer from the internet. Make sure that the windows firewall is enabled.

    Ø you may need to check with the manufacturer of security software for reinstallation and activation.

    O re - install the security software on the computer.

  • SE error message: "Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device. The unit may be damaged or missing. "When you try to install new drivers for DVD players

    Original title: CD/DVD drives do not work after upgrade from XP to Vista

    I upgraded my dell E521 to Vista dimension, but now finds that none of the CD/DVD drives work.  I also tried two external drives, same thing.  I downloaded the new drivers for the internal disks and when I tried to install the windows said they already had the best drivers.  Both drives are TSST - I get device status "windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device. The unit may be damaged or missing. "I want to upgrade to 7, but can not run the dvd, and apparently MS has no download available if you purchase cd!  Am tearing my hair!

    Hi krt2,

    In general, the error can be caused by a missing required device driver, a required binary file is damaged, if there is a problem with the process I/O file, or if a pilot that makes reference to an entry point in another binary file which can not load

    You can try to uninstall and reinstall the driver for the device to solve this problem.

    Step 1: Uninstall the CD/DVD driver. Follow this step to do the same thing:

    a. click the Start button, select Control Panel, click System and Maintenance and then click Device Manager. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    b. expand CD-ROM/DVD-Rom drives-> right click on the device, and then click Properties.

    c. on the device properties dialog box, click the driver tab, and then click on uninstall.

    d. restart your computer.

    Step 2: Reinstall the CD/DVD driver by visiting the manufacturer's Web site.

    See the links below for more details on the update of drivers:

  • Since I updated to Firefox 8 on Mac OS x 10.4.11, Firefox does not open more (not same previous versions downloaded via Safari). I get the error message "You cannot use Firefox with this version of Mac OS x" (translated from Dutch).

    I tried to create a new profile, the problem remains the same.

    None of the 3 accounts on this desktop computer can use Firefox. This has never been a problem. Today (14.11.11) I've updated Firefox to 8 and nothing more. Via Safari, I downloaded Firefox 7 to reinstall, same error message.

    From Firefox 4, Mac must have an Intel x 86 processor (which you do not have) and OSX 10.5 or higher (version OSX 10.4).

    The good news is that Firefox 3.6.24 still support OSX 10.4 and Mac with the PPC Mac architecture. The bad news is that the support for Firefox 3.6.x series is likely to end in the first quarter of 2012.

  • When I insert a CD of the application, I get the error message - 'windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have access to the item. I tried pretty much everything including a new CDROM and loading on safe mode.

    Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

    Ideas:

    • You have problems with programs
    • Error messages
    • Recent changes to your computer
    • What you have already tried to solve the problem

    Hi Mefrombigd,

    1. it happens with all types of CD?

    2. did you of recent changes on the computer?

    3 when was the last time it was working fine?

    4. you receive the error message when you insert the CD into the CD drive?

    Method 1

    Check if you can access the contents of the CD using Windows Explorer application.

    (a) click the start menu, and then double-click computer.

    (b) make a right click on the CD drive, click Open.

    (c) check if you can access it.

    Method 2

    It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

    I suggest that you perform a clean boot and check.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista or Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

    (a) click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

    (b) If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

    (c) under the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.
