Default Re: XP Sound Problems - Try this out

I have narrowed the problem down to two possible culprits in my audio codecs department; the first is this:
Fraunhofer IIS MPEG Layer-3 Codec (Pro)
and the second is this:
AC3 ACM Decompressor

I got shut a lot of the codecs down and the game sounds ran fine but they had to play from start to fininsh before I could move or fire or do anything else again. I then switched one codec after the other back on until I reached these two. the AC3 appears to be totally screwed i.e it has virtually dissapeared altogether so I removed it from the list of codecs for the time being, the Fraunhoffer seems to be the problem but I cannot just switch it off because otherwise the whole game slows down as I have just described earlier in this particular post.


The following message I will post up is what the menu looks like for the Fraunhofer codec.
