I got a cell phone and the usb cable to put mp3 ringtones on my phone, well it wasn't workign so I emailed motorola, they said something about the Fraunhofer audio codec that comes with winXP is a DECODE only and to contact microsoft to change it back or whatever. Anyways, I'm gonna put here exactly what they said maybe someone could help me cuz microsoft charges too much to call them for tech support...
Regarding your inquiry, Windows XP comes with an MP3 driver, the Fraunhofer IIS MPEG Layer-3 codec, that allows MP3 playback and low-quality MP3 recording. After installing certain software packages, the ability to record MP3's may be lost.
When you look in the Control Panel, Sounds and Audio Devices, Hardware tab, Audio codecs, Properties, and Properties again you'll see the driver listed as 'Fraunhofer IIS MPEG Layer-3 codec', highlight it and click on Properties, if you see it listed as 'Fraunhofer IIS MPEG Layer-3 codec (decode only)'. This confirms that the wrong driver is installed.
The cause is simple: some packages (CD burning software, music editing software) install a playback-only version of the driver. The driver in question is l3codeca.acm, which is replaced by the playback-only version l3codecx.acm. Fortunately, the original driver file is not lost. We recommend you contact a computer technician, Microsoft support (1-800-936-3500) or HiWired (866-392-9992) so they can assist you in getting the mp3 editing capabilities back on your PC.
Anyways, I did have this codec, does anyone know what they're talkin about to 'get the original' one back? They list a codec l3codeca.acm and I have that one in a .cab file. I extracted it to c:windowssystem (i looked up where it goes) and got rid of the one they said was decode only, except it didn't work anyone have any ideas? THANKS!

WAGAUD.AddReg.NT' should be filled in with 'Fhg IIS MPEG Layer-3 Codec (Professional) v3.3.2.44', but the wrong variable was listed in the Strings.
I'm writing an MP3 wave player and I would like to take advantage of the MPEG Layer-3 Audio Codec. I would like to use the Win32 ACM functions to allow the codec to do all the necessary conversions. Where can I obtain both the advanced (64Kbps) and pro version (128Kbps) of this codec so that I can use acmDriverAdd to make it available to my app?IE4 automatically installs the advanced version of this codec in user's system but I don't wish to rely on it being there since if they haven't installed IE4, it won't.
In addition, I would mainly like to use the pro codec.
I don't know where to obtain either of these. I have IE4 installed. Is the advanced codec in my SYSTEM dir? What filename is it? Can I use this file with acmDriverAdd? Can I include the advanced driver with my app w/o infringing on any copyrights?
Where can I get the pro driver for use with acmDriverAdd? Can I include it with my app w/o infringing on any copyrights?
Thanks!
