xp- ac3 sound

I have a file thats a Ac3 sound an plays on my 98 os just fine but on my xp os machine doesnt. I installed the 2k audio filters an dvix alpha 3 an 4 an 5 an still no good on the xp machine, any hints? Thanks for your support!!

I installed the "iviaudio.ax" filter (hope I didn't get confused with the name), then AC3 played fine on my XP. bb

installed the "iviaudio.ax" filter 

Great i hope it works for me ,thank you,but can you tell me how to install the "iviaudio.ax" filter? I do have it with the audio filters but don't know how to install it.Again Thank you for this Support. : )

Use the "Audiofilters" from doom9's main software page. bb

"but can you tell me how to install the "iviaudio.ax" filter? I do have it with the audio filters but don't know how to install it" ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ was the Question - "I installed the 2k audio filters" I mentioned in my 1st post,-they are easy to install -double click the .Bat file, but the "iviaudio.ax" is not a bat file that u can double click to install.so i ask again, how do you install the "iviaudio.ax" filter?

regsvr32 /s iviaudio.ax But you can simply run the registerfilters-2k.cmd or the registerfilters-98.bat, depending on your OS. You didn't read the readme.txt, did you? ;) bb

english? 

I guess my comunication skills are lacking, dunno, but[BB-But you can simply run the registerfilters-2k.cmd or the registerfilters-98.bat, depending on your OS. You didn't read the readme.txt, did you? ][in pervious poasts- hyway---I installed the 2k audio filters ---I installed the 2k audio filters they are easy to install -double click the .Bat file]- like the readme says . SORRY if you didnt understand that i was to stuipd till now to reconize that the executeing of the bat file IS WHAT installs the iviaudio.ax--IT IS the Filter. but just to make it CLEAR I had run the filter install b4 this post ever exsisted so that didnt fix it an just goes to enforce IMO that XP is a POS, but thats another story.Have a great weekend Thanks for trying @ this point i dont give a rats ass about that 1 movie that doesnt work in Xp. GG Hope the Moderator is around soon an Deletes this Post PLEASE. Again Thank You For Your Support : }

Go to the audio forum and look for the thread titled "iviaudio.ax - is v2.6 the best choice?" You'll find there a lot of tips what else you can change to make ac3 playback work (plus make it work with 4- and 5.1-channel surround). What works best for me is the Moonlight Odio Dekoda (see the thread for a link).
