Win2k: Codec installed, DSP plugin says it isn't

7th June 2000, 16:22

Windows 2000 Server: When I try to configure the mp3 format in the DSP plugin Shoutcast Source dialog, it gives me an error telling me there is no codec installed. I know the codec is installed, and it is listed in Audio Codecs in the control panel.

Any suggestions?

Just click on 'EDIT' and when the requestor comes up saying that an MP3 decoder is not installed - click 'OK'... Repeate this process untill it finaly detects the MP3 codec.

Dont ask me why sometimes it finds one installed and sometimes it doesn't -- but I found this method to work just fine. (you may have to repeat it up to 10 times for it to let you in)

I am having the same problem with Win2K Server. The codec shows up in control panel, but the DSP plugin gives me an error that a codec is not installed. I tried the clicking edit several times as recommended in the previous reply, but it doesn't help.
