How to Fix the Sound on an AVI File
AVI video files contain sound as well as video. The audio of an AVI file can become garbled from the file being copied or from a disc error on the hard drive. Fixing the sound on an AVI file can be done on a PC using an AVI Codec Repair program, of which there are a number of free versions available. The AVI Codec Repair program will fix the sound automatically so the video and audio play correctly on the AVI file.
