No sound when watching AVI in Mediaplayer

Hi!

Captured DV footage has no sound when played back in Media player. It tries to download a codec, but fails. What can I do to correct this?

The video files play back with sound when opened with Vegas 5. But in Vegas the video playback is a bit choppy, but my CPU usage is only 50%. What could be causing the choppy playback?

Thanks!

How did you capture your DV footage?
If you used a firewire card this shouldn't be happening, because no audio codec would be needed for playback. Probably a corrupted DV file.

I captured the video with Vegas 5 on my Dell laptop (Inspiron 8200). The clip plays back fine in Vegas with som stuttering in the picture, but sound is perfect. In Media player the picture is perfect, but there is no sound.

Any thoughts?

Can you hear wav and mp3 in Media Player? If not, you might have turned off the sound somehow. Either by accidently clicking the mute sound button in Media Player or by muting something in the volume control panel in Windows. If you have the little speaker icon in the system tray (lower right corner of screen), double click it and have a look at the individual faders and click-boxes. If the icon it's not there, try find it in Control Panel.

No everything else works. It's just these DV files. I noticed a strange thing dough. I have Vegas set to split all the scenes into different DV files during capture. Some of them play with sound in Mediaplayer, but most of them don't. And it's not random which work. Very strange. When I play the ones that don't work I can see Mediaplayer trying to download a codec, but fails.

The video clips were captured on my laptop. When watching the clips on my home computer the same thing happens. Some of the clips play with sound, some don't. It's not random which play with sound or not.
But when played back in Vegas everything is okay.

I used Sony's ECM-HS1 microphone when I recording the video. I remember when testing the microphone after I bought it I noticed some strange things.
I first tested the microphone i silent conditions, then I tested the internal microphone under the same conditions, and then the same procedure with speech.
When capturing the video, the recording would stop when it came to the point where I either took of the microphone or attached it.
As though the camera or program scenes some change and stops?

I have never had these problems before when using the internal microphone.
