I have a new laptop (HP Pavilion g6) with Windows 8. When I transferred my photos and videos, there is no longer any sound coming from my videos through Live Photo Gallery. I had the same issue with my Windows Vista laptop and I loaded the k-lite codec pack. I did the same this afternoon, but I still don't have any sound. Any suggestions? Thanks!
📎 AI Summary:
The thread discusses a user's ongoing audio and video playback issues on a Windows 8 HP Pavilion g6 after transferring files. Initially, installing a codec pack resolved sound issues for some videos, but it caused problems with older .avi files, leaving video absent. The user seeks further solutions, with suggestions including possibly uninstalling problematic software, using system restore, or trying VLC media player, though none have fully resolved the issues, especially for older .avi files on a 64-bit Windows 8 system.

Hi Sharmar,
will the videos play at all if you access them via a different route than the photo gallery? Just out of interest why didn't you pop the video's into the folder marked video's?
I'm not sure if this will help any but you could try this:

Thank you for your reply. My photo s/w automatically places all of my photos/videos in the same directory. Once I downloaded the Windows 8 codecs, the videos played with sound - thank you. I have older .avi files that will no longer display the video but will play the audio. Any other suggestions? Thanks again.

This download apparently supports older avi files, could be worth a try:
some .avi files play, only audio, no video... - General - MovieCodec.com

I often use this if nothing else works:
VideoLAN - Official page for VLC media player, the Open Source video framework!
