Subject:ACM compatible driver
Posted by: Wearbe

I have some .wav files that I can open and listen to fine
in Windows98, but Sound Forge XP 4.0 gives me the following
info:

"filename.wav" is compressed and requires a Microsoft Audio
Compression Manager (ACM) compatible driver.
When an appropriate driver has been installed, Sound Forge
XP will be able to open and edit this file.

I looked at the index of help and looked at the items they
pointed me to. The Microsoft CODEC's that I have listed
under AUDIO are:
- IMA ADPCM
- ADPCM
- GSM 6.10 Audio
- CCITT G.711 A-Law and U-Law
- PCM Converter

Non Microsoft CODECS listed are:
- DSP Group Truespeech Software
- Lernout & Houspie
- Indeo audio software

...But I can open the files through windows! Therefor, I
have a compatible CODEC for the files, so why is SF XP not
using it?

Thanks,

Ben
