Sound issue, codec failure

There are 2 replies in this Thread. The last Post () by (IOC)Wаnderer.

    Hello,
    i've installed Crossfire mod, now i have some sound issues. I hear no dialogues between character, in space and in cutscenes.
    I've read that there are conflicts with audio codecs.
    I reinstalled Fraunhofer IIS MPEG Layer-3 Codec but nothing changed and i dont know wich codecs i can delete and wich i should not delete.

    Hello seitwaerts,
    welcome to Crossfire and SWAT community!


    You do have the right codec installed, but make sure it takes priority over other MP3 decoders (e.g. there is "MP3 Decoder DMO" in your list).
    In XP one can change priorities in Control Panel -> Sounds and Audio Devices -> Hardware -> Audio Codecs -> Properties, maybe you find something similar in Windows 7.


    Looking forward to your updates.
