no sound from avi files

I HAVE VISTA HOME PREMIUM,ON TOSHIBA SATELLITE. UNTILL A FEW DAYS AGO
EVERYTHING WAS WORKING FINE. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MEDIA PLAYER WOULD NOT PLAY
SOUND FROM AVI VIDEO FILES. THE SOUND WORKS FINE WITH EVERYTHING ELSE, JUST
NO SOUND FROM VIDEO FILES. WHATS WRONG??? THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP.

I have the same problem!! I have a Ricoh R4 digital camera and have
played plenty of videos from it and have had no problem with the
sound,last night all of the avi files I have taken this weekend play
without sound

When i upload them to youtube etc they play but without sound! All the
files play perfectly in Quicktime but when uploaded to the net,no sound!
I tried a system restore last night to no avail

Any help is greatly appreciated

What audio codec do your clips use?
Are you using Vista or Vista SP1? SP1 should work better with digital
camera AVIs (some digital camera AVIs use bad-ish data formats which can
lead to no audio being played - SP1 has a work-around allowing those strange
AVIs to work).

Please post what the filename(s) are? Give us an
example file name. The trouble with some AVIs is that the
person that encoded (recorded) them may have used an add-on
codec (sometimes divx is used for video and a52/ac3 for audio)

You likely couldn't actually deduce the codecs used from a picture or from
the filename - you could use a tool such as GSpot Codec Appliance to show
that data, though. =\

Or if you put up a sample AVI showing this issue, that would be easy enough
to check the headers for and determine the codecs in question.
