Posts: 306 		i get an error box - unknown audio format when i try to import an audio file.
it didn't happen in the past.
i use audacity and 16 bit wav as i have always done for years. (same results with mp3)
Using the same files and set on my win 10 laptop works fine.
but on the win 7 machine which i stress has been working without this issue for years i get the error box.
Does anyone know if there's something i can try to fix the problem,something in the registry perhaps?
Does my head in.Whaaaaa?

Posts: 306 		Thanks for the reply.
I fear thats too long ago now.
It's been like this for well over a year. Because i have the win 10 computer working ok i have been using that but it would be very much more convenient and boost production, work flow etc to get the the win 7 computer optimised and back in the game.
Everything works fine otherwise. I can use the built in sound effects and also record audio within muvizu which works....but if i try re-open the file after that it wont then open that file.

I dont follow? there's nothing wrong with the audio files they are normal sensible files that muvizu is used to importing.
Muvizu isn't recognising them whereas it did before. Surely the problem is with Muvizu not Win 7 ?
There must be others still using Win7. without the problem.

What does the error box tell?
I still use windows 7 and I have no issues with audio files.

This is what i get even though the audio loads ok on my win 10


I did a fresh install of muvizu
but haven't deleted older versions.
always a bit frightened to uninstall everything.

I had a similar popup when I tried to load a just saved character as favorite. Could you try to see if you get the message if you try that?
Do you start muvizu with administrator rights? That did the trick with my favorites saving. I think it has to do with rights on certain windows folders.

Might try uninstalling everything and a reinstall?

What you can try first before uninstalling everything, is to install a version in a different folder to see if that works with the audio.
