VoxWare MetaSound Audio CoDec 1.6.0.17
4.28
from 100 Reviews
VoxWare MetaSound Audio CoDec is allowing you to enjoy very good sound quality even if your audio files have a very low bit-rate. This application is especially suitable when you use voice-only content.
In the case of low bit-rate audio tracks that only contain voice, MetaVoice is a much better solution than MP3 and WMA.
Even if your audio is only 2kbits/second, you can enjoy extremely good speech quality.
This codec can also help you encode mono content at low bit rates and you can use several mono and stereo formats.
Soundtrack noises are also supported, although VoxWare MetaSound Audio CoDec does not guarantee you the best results in this case.
Multiple streams are too much for this format, but you can try to increase the bit-rate to 8-16 kbit/sec and still get satisfactory results.
Another observation regarding this application is that Audio Codec Tag 75 may be requested when VoxWare MetaSound Audio CoDec is missing.
At a size of less than 1MB, VoxWare MetaSound Audio CoDec will pass unnoticed on your computer and it will use a very low amount of system resources.
You definitely need this virtual item to be deployed to your computer if you work with voice-only audios; it offers you the perfect solution for this type of content and it ensures both good quality and small dimensions of your audio files.
How to install VoxWare MetaSound Audio CoDec:
The installation process may be a bit tricky for beginners, as VoxWare MetaSound Audio CoDec doesn’t have a typical installer; you need to extract files from the archive, find the *.inf file, right-click on it and choose the “Install” option.
It is possible to get a message saying "The software you are installing for this hardware... has not passed Windows Logo testing...”; ignore it and click the “Continue Anyway” button.

What the Heck? I was so pleased to be able to finally play a concert video hidden on a CD from 2000--after following advice and downloading KMPlayer. But it only worked once!! I can not recreate the conditions, nor can I get it to work on XP Windows Media Player. That device continually tells me that I do not have the correct codec.
Like Christina (15 July 2009), I would like to have WMP recognize the codec. Tweak Tools from K-Lite also could not help. I have been able to get the VIDEO to play in WinAmp, but with NO AUDIO... HELP!! PS. Does all of the advice about .inf files and copying to the C: drive no longer apply now that we have .exe files?
I could not get any of the advice about "voxacm file set up," nor "Run as Administrator" to apply to my situation. Is that advice out of date?

Doesn't do anything and there are no inf files.
The other comment about audacity is totally incorrect. It will not import/play undf. try the tutorial "flight of the bumblebee" from monkeyseemonkey do site.
Stupid YouTube using crappy bloody codecs!

I went on another way. I have installed K-Lite Codec Pack on my system and went to Codec Tweak Tool and there enabled all Vox codecs in the codecs tree. And sound appeared! :D
