Vegas, and Windows Media Player: No audio on .mts avchd files

MikeLV wrote on 2/25/2025, 1:27 PM

I was pulling my hair out thinking my issue was related to a VST plugin, but then I discovered that neither Vegas, nor Windows Media Player on Windows 11 are playing audio in the .mts avchd files from my camera. But the audio does play fine when I use VLC Player. Does anyone know how to fix this issue? Thank you

If you type "ac3" into a Vegas Pro forum search box you'll get waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more information than you hoped for.

Look at this:

Ah, didn't see that as I was searching for avchd. Thank you; I got it working again, whew!

@MikeLV Of interest, how did you get it working again?

I got that AnWave software mentioned in another thread, and installed the Microsoft Dolby Digital Plus Decoder MFT. After that, the audio started working again, didn't even need to reboot.

A download from techspot.com "Microsoft dolby ac3 installer" solved problem with Resolve 19.3. Likely to work with magix. Will test once vp22 installed on new rig.

Confirned "Microsoft Dolby AC3 installer" from 'Techspot' also works with Vegas

I thought VP 22.243 fixed this natively without other software (though that wouldn't help with Resolve!)

MikeLV is using VP21 according to his signature. I doubt the fix will be made available to older versions of VP. But hopefully I could be wrong?

I guess I should update that, I am using the latest version of Vegas 22
