ac3 playback

Hey all,
I've installed the AC3 audio codec (the latest version, 1.01AC5) and am unable to hear the audio in my avi files with ac3 audio in multiple different media players. The video (xvid) plays fine but I get an error in the player saying it cannot find the codec for the sound, and the "Web Help" troubleshooter identifies it as the -0010-8000-00AA00389B71} codec
I`m using the public Beta 2 version of Vista, and a X-Fi Xtrememusic with Creative`s driver. Anyone else having a similar issueÉ

I installed the ac3 filter from doom9.net and it works perfectly with all my divx/xvid files that have a ac3 stream. Might be worth a try.
