    Not able to convert MS ADPCM to MP3

    I'm trying dbpowearmp to convert some ADPCM files to mp3. When the conversion is about to begin, I get this:

    Code:
    Error converting to mp3 (Lame), 'I:\test\00000057.wav' to 'I:\test\00000057.mp3'
       Error Cannot Create Wave Decoder (Microsoft ADPCM)?  [clWaveDecoder::PrepareToDecodeAudio]
    I'm pretty sure the file is Microsoft ADPCM, since I can play it on Media Player Classic after setting the codec for MS ADPCM to libavcodec.
    What should I do?

    dBpoweramp uses the built in ACM codecs for decoding anything that is non standard wave, if you do not have the system decoder dBpoweramp will not decode it.

      Well, I HAVE the ACM codec installed. I have the msadp32.acm file in C:\Windows\System32.

      If I remove or rename it, instead of the above message it says this:
      Code:
      Error converting to mp3, 'I:\test\00000057.wav' to 'I:\test\00000057.mp3'
         Error Cannot Create Wave Decoder (ADPCM (ACM decoder not installed))?  [clWaveDecoder::PrepareToDecodeAudio]

        Media Player classic should have automatically used it, I am guessing that libavcodec has a built in ADPCM decoder.

          Sorry for the late answer.
          I tried on my laptop (that has Windows 7) and I get the same problem. In this case, the decoder for MS ADPCM is disabled in the ffdshow audio configuration, so I suppose the files are being played with the system built-in decoder...
          They play only in Windows Media Player and Media Player Classic, though. Not on Winamp, foobar2000 or iTunes.

          Checking the file with MediaInfo, I get this information:

          Format: ADPCM
          Format settings, Endinanness: Little
          Codec ID: 2
