WMA Codec Not Encoding

[daxfraud]

Whenever I go to select Windows Media Audio 10 no encoder settings come up, and when I try to convert I get the error message "Error converting to Windows Media Audio 10,
Error: Unable to load encoder 'Windows Media Audio 10'"

In the Audio Codec list Windows Media Audio doesn't appear, how do I reinstall it?
Thanks

Try uninstall dbpoweramp, reboot windows, reinstall.

Using the 64 bit version?

[daxfraud]

I've tried that a few times and it has yet to work.
Pretty sure I'm using 64 bit version, are there different download links for 32 & 64?

[Spoon]

If using windows 64 bit then 64 bit would be installed.


C:\Program Files\dBpoweramp\encoder

Look in that folder there should be a file

Windows Media Audio 10.dll

if not look at your security software which might have removed it.

The Windows Media Audio.dll file is there. But it still doesn't show encoder settings in ripper or converter.

Restart your system in safemode:

Will ensure any security software is not blocking it, as a test.

I did that but I'm not sure what I'm looking for. The file still shows up in safe mode, but it still doesn't show in the audio codec list. Is there something I should be looking for?

[Spoon]

I am out of ideas, the list in Music Converter (where it allows selection) it does not even load the DLL, just looks for it in the folder (*.dll). Something has to be blocking access of dBpoweramp to that file.
