Sony ATRAC3 Audio Codec 0.98
ATRAC3 achieves twice the data compression rate of ATRAC with virtually no loss in sound quality and reduces the size of audio d more>>
The highest bit rate supported by Atrac3 is 132 kbps (which they say is superior to MP3 128 kbps) and supplies a decent quality.
For the best quality ATRAC3 files, you must convert the tracks directly from the audio CD.
ATRAC3 is a compression technology based on Sony?s ATRAC (Adaptive TRansform Acoustic Coding) technology that originated with and is supported by MiniDisc. ATRAC3 achieves twice the data compression rate of ATRAC with virtually no loss in sound quality and reduces the size of audio data to 1/10 of the original audio CD source.
The audio compression technologies used by Sony will analyze the digital audio data and reduce its size by applying the newest digital audio technologies.
Compressing audio data provides real benefits:
- Drastically minimize the required physical size of recording media while enabling increased music storage.
- Smaller file sizes means a reduction in audio data transmission time.
How to install Sony ATRAC3 Audio Codec :
- Unarchive atrac3.rar, right-click on atrac3.inf file and choose Install.
- You may encounter a prompt saying: "The software you are installing for this hardware... has not passed Windows Logo testing..."; click on the Continue Anyway button.
- Then check the installed codec. See Checking Installed VIDEO and AUDIO Codecs In Windows XP guide.
Lead Vorbis Audio Codec
A DirectShow® filter for compressing and decompressing audio data using the Vorbis compression algorithm more>>
Compared to MP3 compressed audio files, Vorbis based compression produces audio files that maintain a higher sound quality and/or a smaller compressed size, depending on the needs of the user. For example, the user has the option of keeping their digital music collection at the same sound quality level as MP3, but requiring significantly less disk space. Or, a user can commit the same amount of storage (disk space) as their MP3 based files, however their digital music will have higher quality sound.
Vinyl Audio Codec 7.00 b
This driver supports all VIA southbridges with integrated sound.div3 fourcc more>> Codecs supported: This driver supports all VIA southbridges with integrated sound plus several audio codecs as below.div3 codec downloadcodec amv
DOS sound: This driver supports DOS sound for VIA VT82C686A/VT82C686B/VT8231 southbridges only. The VIAAUDIO.COM file mentioned in the Readme concerning DOS sound can be obtained from this old audio driver package. It is no longer supplied in the Vinyl_AudioCodec driver package.
Release history: This combination driver was first published on 24 June 2002. Prior to 24 June 2002, there was driver 74mu170a for VT8233/VT8233A/VT8233C and driver 68MU220b for VT686A, 686B & VT8321. The "combo" driver combined those two drivers into the one package and added support for the (at the time) new VT8235 southbridge. Further improvements have been made in subsequent releases, including adding support for more codecs and the driver package is now called Vinyl_AudioCodec.
Special note: VIA advises that where possible, users should install onboard sound drivers provided by their motherboard manufacturer.<<less
TTA Lossless Audio Codec 3.4.1
Lossless compressor for multichannel 8,16 and 24 bits audio data. more>>
The codec was built to offer adequate compression levels while maintaining high operation speeds.
The TTA lossless audio codec performs lossless compression on multichannel 8, 16 and 24-bit data of WAV audio files. The term "lossless" refers to the fact that such compression results in literally no data or quality loss; when decompressed, the audio file data are bit-identical to those of their originals.
Compression ratios achieved by the TTA codec vary, depending on music type, but range from 30% - 70% of the original. The TTA lossless compressed audio format supports both ID3v1 and ID3v2 information tags.
The TTA lossless audio codec allows for the storage of up to 20 audio CDs worth of music on a single DVD-R, retaining the original CD quality audio, plus detailed information in the popular ID3 tag format.
Being lossless means that no data/quality is lost in the compression - when uncompressed, the data will be identical to the original.
DivX MPEG-4 Audio Codec 4.02
Some movies are created with WMA sound format which is unrecognizable by the mp3 codecs of DivX versions higher than 3 more>>
Some movies are created with WMA sound format which is unrecognizable by the mp3 codecs of DivX versions higher than 3. In such cases your player starts searching the net for the appropriate codec and never finds it because there is no such available for download.
The only available appropriate DivX audio codec comes with the DivX 3.11 alpha codec installation pack (other repacks also) - DivXa32.acm. So now youve got an unique DivX 3.11 Alpha repack that will install only the missing audio decompressor, will add an item in your audio compression manager (for win 9x - control panel / multimedia / devices / audio compression codecs) and also an option for uninstallation from control panel (add/remove programs).
This is an advantage over installing the whole of the DivX 3.11 pack because it installs its older video codecs which you do not need and it overwrites the registry and uninstall information which makes it impossible to uninstall DivX 3.11 Alpha and the other later DivX codec version you might have separately. This may cause some undesired behaviour of your codecs and players. All you need to do for hearing the WMA sound of your movie is to install this pack.
I hope you will enjoy it!
Note: GSpot gives the following information with this type of audio codec: divx (same as wma) (0x0161) DivX Networks
VoxWare MetaSound Audio Codec 1.6.0.17
free VoxWare MetaSound Audio Codec more>>
It comes with a variety of mono and stereo audio formats to choose from depending on your network bandwidth.
It is also suitable for encoding mono voice-only content at extremely low bit-rates.
MetaVoice works far FAR better than MP3 and even WMA at very low bit rates. You can get very good speech quality at 2kbit/sec! (Note I said "bits" not "bytes" - you cant touch that with MP3.)
Itll do soundtrack noises pretty well too, although it can get muddy if theres too much going on.
Using the MetaSound codec and upping the bit rate to a whopping 8 or 16kbit/sec will fix this.
The best part is there are no restrictions on the Voxware codecs - you can useem in pretty much anything and theyll play.

- Up-mix any audio track (even plain stereo) up to 6 channels
- Down-mix any audio track to any number of channels (to match your speaker configuration)
- If you have an external Dolby ProLogic decoder, you may use ProLogic down-mix to help DPL decoder to extract surround information
- Watch movies under poor hearing conditions (noisy environment, weak speakers, ...)
- Decrease dynamic range to watch movies at night
- Apply time shift to the audio track to synchronize audio with video.
- Adjust gain of every input/output channel independently to compensate loudness differences
- Adjust time delays for every channel to compensate different distances to loudspeakers.
- SPDIF output:
- Passthrough AC3 and DTS over SPDIF without any change to external decoder
- Encode any audio to AC3 and transmit it over SPDIF
- USB sound cards supported
Enhancements:
- AC3 decoding bug fixed (Issue 1)
