For instance when you don't know which one is the best to use or how to configure them. Now while this can be helpful it can also be harmful. And then there are much, much more.Ī codec pack installs codecs of all kinds to make sure you can play every possible format. But while the three I mentioned are quite generic formats which are automatically supported by your normal Windows Media Player, there are also more exotic formats, like mkv, bnk or ac3. As you may now (or not) there are different video formats, like mpeg, wmv, avi and so on. What is this FddShow and what are codecs?Ĭodecs.are some kind of driver used for video playback.

Thought I could share the infos I gathered with you and hope they might help.
Since then I already restarted my PC two times, restarted the game, tried different audio modes (which are available with my X-Fi) and tried many savegames.and it's still fixed. Somehow my audio driver got screwed up or misconfigured (although I didn't touch anything, so it could've been the codec package as assumed) and by resetting it to it's standards the problem fixed itself. I think THIS is what finally fixed the problem. My audio crackled a bit as the driver was resetting and afterwards my middle speaker was fixed and equally noisy as all other speakers. I then entered the Creative Labs settings again and simply hit the "Reset to Standards" button. I use a 5.1 audio system and my middle speaker - which is the important one when it comes to dialog in games - was much too quiet compared to the rest of the boxes. ^^ģ.) I got into the menu for my audio configuration (tried both the windows options and the one that came with my Creative Labs sound driver) and noticed something odd: I did the standard test where Windows plays a sound for every speaker. So uninstalled it, used a registry cleaner afterwards and restarted my system.Ģ.) I did one very obvious thing: I used to play with STEAM in offline mode, so I connected to STEAM and let it install the latest patch. I remembered many people telling me that these audio codec packs usually cause more trouble than fixing problems. Okay, one of these or all of these fixed my problem:ġ.) I noticed that the game, while running, used the ffdshow audio decoder that got installed with the K-Lite codec pack some months ago.
