A question about Graphedit and decoders.

[Ender]

I know this is not a hardware question per se, but it is a direct result of installing my HD-PVR, and the associated software.

After installing the HD-PVR, and the Arcsoft software, I could not get audio when playing video. It was garbled, and just came out as random noise. I have fixed this in sage by changing my audio renderer from default to Optical out, so it is not mission critical, but I cannot paly files through Media player if I wished to.

I fired up graphedit, and this is what I see:

Now, I do not know why that Arcsoft Audio decoder decided to insert itself there, but that is the culprit. Has anyone else seen this and do you know a way to fix it?

It is the same for MPEG2, and H.264 sources.

Use Directshow filter manager and lower the merit value of the "Arcsoft audio decoder HD" codec until it stops hijacking your graphs. Or unregister that codec.
