Clicker 7

When trying to record in Clicker 7, you receive the following error message:
Recording failed: Cannot record a sound

Resolution

There is a problem with the Xiph.Org Open Codecs codec pack, which is automatically installed with Clicker 7.

To resolve the problem:

1. Log onto the computer as an administrator.
2. Uninstall Xiph.Org Open Codecs.
3. Download and run the installer below.
4. Restart the computer.

Clicker 7 should now record sound correctly.

For ICT Technicians

If the problem is happening on multiple computers, it's possible to silently reinstall Xiph.Org Open Codecs via command line.

We recommend saving the following commands into a batch file, and then creating a Scheduled Task that runs it once at boot (or logon) with Administrator privileges. The task can be removed after all the computers have been fixed.
