I have an Advantage format course and Video plays without audio
You may need to update the Windows Media Player audio codec below to complete the course.
Some of our courses fail to play the audio tracks with some versions of Windows Media Player.
You need to download and install the Windows Media Player Codec Update using this link:
Audio Update for Windows Media Player
- Download the zip file to your desktop.
- Double click the zip file to reveal the acelp_for_Vista.exe file.
- Double click the .exe file to install the codec update.
You should receive a "Do you want to install the VoiceAge ACELP.net audio codec?" message on your screen during the installation of the update.
If the problem persists there may be another media player (other than Windows Media Player) associated with .mpa, .mpg, .wma, and .wmv file extensions.
