THE SOUNDS ARE BACK!! THE SOUNDS ARE BACK!!!! Cheesy

I think after installing that Aces Codec Mega Pack that that is what fixed my problem!

Now I can continue working on my sound packs! Smiley

Great news, Adam. I don't know what an Aces Codec Mega Pack is, but ...... whatever works!

Thanks for letting us know. Your solution may also help others in the future.

It's in the link I gave him yesterday. Not all the codec packs have or reinstall the PCM (and in fact he installed one before which obviously didn't have them), but the Ace is one of those who does it, and seen he had no sounds BECAUSE his PCM codecs had gone AWOL... Wink
 

There is no such a thing as overkill. Only unworthy targets.

I recently lost many system and game sounds;  codec packs didn't help (be wary of those, they may cause more problems than they cure), nor did "ffdshow", newer audio drivers, or numerous other "cures".  Here is an excerpt from my thread on another site, the problem wasn't missing codecs but corrupt registry entries for the codecs:
/////////////////////////////////
I had done a system restore to before the IE update, but the sound problems remained (this "update" had also necessitated me reinstalling the vid drivers and the drivers for my force feedback wheel). My wave editor (Adobe Audition) had also stopped working ...until I changed its I/O from wavemapper to Creative "what you hear", this proved to be the critical clue.

Researching the lost wavemapper, eventually I found several threads concerning lost sound in flv playback in which the most common solution was a registry edit - there was even a reg file to d/l to correct this. This had no effect for me so I tried to manually edit the registry; the required lines were not present and the registry wouldn't let me add them, claiming they already existed.

Ultimately I found the solution: a bit of Vista idiocy required me, as administrator, to give myself, as administrator, permission to access that part of the registry (I'd been editing other registry areas for ages). Once past that vicious circle of ownership, permissions, and access, that section of the registry appeared and I was able to apply the reg file. All sounds are back, changed Audition I/O back to wavemapper, and the system seems normal again.
