No sound playing from an .avi file

Hi,
I’d happened to download W2k3 server CBT a while ago from Tutorial usergroup. It was a WIN 2003 server training from user Tamer. When I’m trying to go through the CBT, all the avi files has video playing fine, but NO sound at all.
I have tried to play with lots of different players out there, but none of them seems to help me.
Gspot also gives a green signal saying that the codecs are in place, yet no sound comes from the .avi file.
Can anyone assist me in resolving this problem?
Do I need to convert all the .avi files into some other format?
I need to prepare for this tut urgently, and I’m desperately hoping for someone to assist me Thanks
Praveen
