I followed the guide and now XVID .avi files have no sound when p;ayed with media center or media player on Win7.Only files that have mpga audio are affected.Any update on what's causing this? I have tried to use the Preferred DS Filters Tool but this has no effect.I am using shark 007 codecs as well but this shouldn't effect it as I can edit the FFDShow settings independently.When I rename the MP3MOD.DLL back to its original, sound does not return for the affected files.Would certainly appreciate some help on this.
