AVI no audio - 0x6771 Ogg Vorbis 3 PLUS

I've just downloaded an AVI movie and when I played it there was video but no audio. Clearly it was a codec problem, but how to resolve it? Codecs are those pieces of software in your system responsible for decoding video and audio. Without the right codec, you're stuffed.

I started by downloading GSpot, a piece of software which will tell you (among other information) the codecs a movie uses and whether or not you have them installed. After running GSpot and dropping my problem file onto it I could see clearly that I did not have the codec to decode the audio. It even listed the codec I needed 0x6771 (Ogg Vorbis 3 PLUS).

Finding the right Ogg Vorbis codec has been a real pain though, and from the various forums I read, I'm not the only one. To simply visit the Ogg Vorbis site and download the latest codec was no solution. LINK UPDATED: 11 Aug 07 I found the version I needed here. UPDATED INSTUCTIONS. After downloading that ZIP file, unzip it. Then right click "vorbisacm.inf" and select install. This will register the codec on your system and hopefully you'll be away.

Other codec versions I tried resulted in still no audio or sometimes a deafening squealing noise. Seems this was the one for my problem file.

Update: I've kept a copy of the codec and will host it myself, if in the future I cannot find further links to it.

The installment under Win x64 would be a little bit different.
How to install the codec in Vista/W7 or in x64 systems:

Hi peeps, is there an alternative solution for Ogg vorbis 3 plus to work? As the vorbisacm codec didn't work in windows 7.

THANK A LOT

4 Aug 2009 07:30 by aroenche

Thanks a million, this workes perfectly. Everything you mentioned in your post was my experience as well, the codec from the Vorbis site did nothing. This one solved the problem, and my sanity.

15 Jul 2009 02:06 by Ryan

"After downloading that ZIP file, unzip it. Then right click "vorbisacm.inf" and select install."
I've done that, but I wasn't able to install the code, a copy error message pop up, why is that anyone knows? please help!!

Thanks for the correct codec after I spent fucking around for too long.

I owe you a drink.

3 Apr 2009 03:08 by tonysuffolk

May I also add my thanks. The solution worked perfectly. Why on earth should videos have sound encoded with such an odd codec? It would seem there are enough of these videos around for the required codec to be more widely available

3 Apr 2009 09:49 by potatotomato

thanks man! i was plonking around the net for a few hours. Not to mention enabling and disabling the codecs i had installed. managed to narrow it down to ACM3 but took forever to figure out why it still didnt jive. Worse still i ended up with sound and no picture. Dont know how that happened but all is fine and dandy now. U da man!

8 Mar 2009 11:03 by txcv

thank you very much!

8 Mar 2009 06:54 by Dx

Anyway to help by providing a copy of the codec ?

Thanks in advance !!!

24 Sep 2007 08:48 by Bart Grefte

Just ran into an avi file which needed a specific ogg codec... The one from vorbis.com didn't work. But this one did!

Thanx!

15 Sep 2007 07:23 by Nasdak

Wow, that helped a lot. Thanks!

11 Sep 2007 06:55 by Witz End

Again, thanks.

Been around the net nine times, installing codec pack after codec pack and yours was the only solution that worked.

Cheers!

1 Sep 2007 03:15 by Some One

Excellent, this worked for me also fixing that exact problem listed in gspot. For some reason I needed that even though I had the normal ogg vorbis codec installed.

29 Aug 2007 07:26 by Hoefnix

Thanks this one did it

26 Aug 2007 01:36 by indicatoto101

Didn't realize the vorbisacm file was an install file. Thanks.
