WMP 11...No sound in .avi file???

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi

I have an .avi files that has no sound in WMP. Do I need to d/l a new
plugin?
The file has no sound in real player either, and real player tells me
that "The file contains an unsupported file format, the needed codec
is not installed on your system". The video works fine in Real player
and wmp.
How do I find out what I need to have sound in that file?

Thanks a lot

Patrick
