Error: Cannot create audio-decoder filter

[Steinspecht]

Hi to all,

I have three questions.

Yes I have read the instruction not to collect several problems in one post. I don't want to clutter the board with a stream of issues.

Issue #1:

I get this error message when I start DVB Dream: Direct Show error: Cannot create audio-decoder filter. Suggestion: change audio codec.

Below the list of codecs seen by DVB Dream.

Video Codec.....: Sonic Cinemaster (v4.3.1.210 - 17.07.2007)
Audio Codec.....: Sonic Cinemaster (v - )
H264 Codec......: Null (No Video) (v6.6.7600.1 - 14.07.2009)
Video Renderer..: Video Mixing Renderer 9
Audio Renderer..: Lautsprecher (2- Realtek High D

Attached a screenshot of other installed codecs.

How can I get DVB Dream to see the other codecs?

I none are known to work with DVB Dream, what codec would work and where can I get it?

Issue #2. The TV screen stays blank. However, the stream gets recorded w. sound and all.
How can I get to see the live TV stream?

Issue #3: How can I tell DVB Dream to wake up the system from suspended mode (suspended, not stand-by) and start a recording?

Any help greatly appreciated!

Regards

try to change your Audio Renderer & Codec.

install WinDVD to get Intervideo audio codecs, works betters.

If you are in a hurry, and cant fix the codecs, you can use VLC streaming feature to watch anytime without any codec related problem.


You should manually add a windows scheduler task to wake the PC up before recording starts.
