* Special Note to Users of Windows Media Player 9, 10,
or 11
There may be audio playback issues for those using Windows Media
Player (WMP) versions 9 or higher. If you are using WMP version 9 or
higher and are experiencing problems related to audio playback, you may
need to download a codec (audio compression/decompression) from this
URL: http://www.voiceage.com/acelp_eval_eula.php
Upon completion of the download, you will need to run the file to
install the required codec. Although it should be perfectly safe to
download and install this file, we cannot provide technical support for
this process, and we assume no liability in connection with it—you
do so at your own risk. If you are uncomfortable with downloading
and installing such a file, as an alternative we offer our programs in
other recorded formats, including CDs, audio tapes, and audio CDs, so
that you may have access to our programs without having to download a
codec file to your computer.
If you have installed the ACELP.net codec (see above) and are still
experiencing audio playback issues, your problems may be related to
firewall restrictions that are currently in place either on your system,
intranet, etc. To determine if your firewall is blocking specific ports
required for audio playback, contact your IT department or read the
documentation found here: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/forpros/serve/firewall.aspx
