Guest Guest Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It would be nice if the moderators of this forum responded to clients who have recently purchased Switch Plus software. This problem of CODeX and making a simple conversion from wav to mp3 should be easy to fix. How about an answer for this problem. I paid over $40 US for this program and it's pretty much useless at this point?? What Gives... von Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Right there w/ you guys.. It'd be nice if AT LEAST the error was a bit more specific.. How many codecs are there to choose from?? Million 6?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 OK - so - this is not really a fix - but more of a workaround.. I get audio files from an internal company site that sends the files in .mp2 format. In the past I have used this program to convert them to .mp3. For some reason, the files are now received as .wav files and when I try to convert those I get that BS codec error. So - the stupid thing - if I rename the file (change extension) to .mp2 - Switch will then convert to .mp3 and it sounds fine.. That's what I'll be doing until the really smart guys come up with a fix.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I'll be doing until the really smart guys come up with a fix.. Try going to http://www.savefile.com/files/520178 and downloading the truespeech file. I use express scribe and when I started using Vista I could no longer play wav files and getting messages that I needed a codec or to use windows media player to automatically install codec, didn't work. I have been trying to find help since August. I finally found this file, just downloaded it and installed, whola, I can use the program and hear wav files. I had heard that wav files do not automatically run on Vista. That is just weird since it seems to be the most popular sound file! Hope this helps some!
