No Sound after conversion about aaxaudioconverter

[audiamus]

No error message?
MP3 files have been created?
Did you try more than one player?
Did you run some analysis tool, like MediaInfo?

[MabeyC]

Edit: I moved the files to another PC and tried windows media player and VLC, which did have audio. I think this must be related to my set up.

No error messages.
Completed successfully each time.
MP3 files are created and named as expected.
Attempted to play audio on Groove Music (Windows 10), Celluloid and Audacious (Linux Mint)
I downloaded MediaInfo and added one of the media files, below is the debug info:

Other PC's did not reproduce error. I believe this to be an issue from my PC.

Thanks for taking the time to respond, and for creating this application. Thank you!

[audiamus]

Thanks for the update on the issue.

I find MediaInfo always helpful. It can't detect everything in media files but it usually gives you a good overview.

[Dudeman456]

I have this issue as well. Except that I use AAX Audio Converter to convert to chapterized M4B. The ones I converted in the last few months do not have sound. When I installed the AAX Audio Converter program on a different computer using the dummy code, the conversion gave me an error but the M4B it output had sound. I should mention I have been using Libation to download.

[Dudeman456]

To add to this, I tried converting to MP3, and that failed with an FFMPEG error, so perhaps at some point the configuration of AAX Audio Converter became corrupted and is not decrypting the AAX files.

[audiamus]

Original AAX files can only be decrypted with the proper activation code, otherwise FFmpeg will throw an error.

I don't know how Libation downloads and decrypts Audible books but I believe it uses AAXClean for decryption, just as my BookLibConnect does. In any case, I suggest to try downloading with BookLibConnect.

[Dudeman456]

Thanks for the reply. The thing that I don't understand is that on the other computer using the dummy code, it decodes and makes a proper M4B file. I am re-doing my entire library right now with BookLibConnect.
