MP3 stream always decoded by DMO decoder

[Lo Zio]

Hello Shark, I am using W7 64 bit. I completely uninstalled W7 codecs (32 bit) before installing v. 3.7.8, and no other codec packs were ever installed in my computer.

I want to use FFDShow Audio for MP3 decoding; but if I turn off LAV audio, then verify FFDshow Audio settings in Config, then check "Use FFDshow in MP2/3" in Swap, playing in ZoomPlayer any AVI file with MP3 audio, I find that the codec used is the "MP3 DMO Codec". Strangely, the same codec is used also after I press "setup Lav Audio" to disable FFDShow Audio.

And also if I disable all the Microsoft-related stuff in Swap, the MP3 DMO codec always gets the audio decoding job. I never altered any filter's merit manually, so I wonder what might be the cause of this DMO codec's stubborness... Can you help me please? Thank you from a long-time fan!

I did as you advised. Unfortunately, no change: the "MP3 decoder DMO" is still listed in ZoomPlayer's working filter list, and anyway FFDshow Audio's icon doesn't show up in the notification area while the file is playing.

I do not test with every player ever made.
I mainly test with WMP and Media Center - these 2 players are the focus of the entire SWAP TAB and my instruction works properly for both of those players. One additional setting is required to make it work in MPC-HC downloaded from my tools page - on the Audio TAB, presss the button to [disable LAV audio].

I agree, you can't test with every player.

With MPC-HC everything works as it should (I made the test). So I shall rather look into my ZoomPlayer configuration. Thank you anyway, Shark!
