    Okay, I'm having alot of troubles with this codec. I have a really good quality Xvid I'm trying to play but I'm getting nosound in mplayer2, it crashes windows media player 8 and winamp 5.x. I may have the nimo pack and I know that will cause problems but I can't find anywhere to uninstall it. I've downloaded the AAC codec and installed it from multiple websites in the hope that it might get me the sound I want. I'm also sure I can play ogg files, so that isn't the problem. Any idea what I can do to clear this rat mess of codecs? FAQ's and searching on forums just isn't working for me, believe me I tried.

    You probably need an ac-3 codec.

    Okay, the sound started working all of the sudden and when I play a movie the sound is really quiet. Editing the AC3 properties, seems to do nothing to the sound or how loud it is. Any idea? This is in winamp.

    mplayer 2 gives me a unable to download appropriate decompressor error and windows media player 8 crashes.

    Assuming you are using Windows XP, right clikc "My Computer", select the "Hardware" tab and click "Device Manager". Scroll down to "Sound, Video and Game Controllers" and open the sub level. You'll find both sound and video codecs for which you need to double click and select "Properties".

    A word of warning. Use at your own risk. You may end up doing more harm than good by removing codecs over-zealously.

    EDIT: You changed your post, so disregard the above. If adjusting the AC3 properties don't help there's not much you can do aside from using an audio editor to increase the volume. Try messing with the properties again. Maybe you overlooked something.

    What the hell, it says it works fine but then it says it doesn't. I got winamp to play at a decent sound level. Changing the properties in the ac3 filter doesn't do anything. Windows media player still has no sound.

    alright well try ac3 filter, this program is especially for the playback of ac-3 audio
    (google search)

    and also nimo codec pack is fucked you've probably got so many codec conflicts your comp cant cope

    id uninstall that flith for a start

    just download and use the codecs that you need

    EDIT:. lol 4 uninstalling nimo have yo tried looking in add/remove programs in control panel, all codec packs have a uninstall feature, although they are just as deadly for your comp its not like their spyware/adware ect ect..,. or simply goto to the folder u installed it to there has to be something, bottomline if you cant uninstall it you'll be gettin conflicts,nimo is renowned 4 it
    simply adding more codecs to the pile will just add to your problems and make them a hell of a lot worse, so dont install anymore codecs till you get rid of nimo

    good luck

    EDIT:. lmao i just realized from your screenshot, you've got 6 xvid codecs, haha you do realize you only need 1
    fusk those nimo cunts are nuff nuffs and no offence but any1 who downloads and installs nimo is too =p
