Video but no sound with Norwegian Freeview (NRK on RiksTv)

[cjh]

I have moved from the UK to Norway and am trying to make use of the tv card again (Hauppauge Nova-T-500 DVB-T) to get the unencrypted NRK channels available on the RiksTv service.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled 1.4.7 and the K-Lite Codec Pack and somehow stumbled into getting the video working (I thought from other posts this was not possible at all). However there is not a hint of sound available.

I have also noticed that a couple of old UK recordings now playback with normal video but the audio is nothing but static in PVRX2 and WMP. I guess this means something is missing/corrupt in general?

Any ideas? Logs attached.

I went on holiday to Bergen a couple of years ago. I took a laptop and a type 2 Freecom DVB-T stick.

If I remember right, I ended up using the bundled media centre with Nero burning ROM. I'm not sure if this was because I had problems with GBPVR or whether I had simply forgotten to download it and didn't have the internet. I have a funny feeling I might have had trouble with audio.

I have a recording of "the Thomas Crown Affair" with Norwegian subtitles, so I must have got something working!

You'll need to install the Monogram HE-AAC decoder to get audio working: http://blog.monogram.sk/janos/2009/03/08...oder-0960/

That's right, I remember now. I got no sound in GBPVR- the Nero software has an AAC decoder built in.

Thanks Sub, that did it. The root cause was 'upgrading' to a lower version of the K-Lite codec pack. Swapping back to the mega got me Monogram AAC decoder.

That must also explain why I could no longer get audio on previously ok recordings.

Works like a treat. Just need to learn Norwegian now.

lykke til....
