This is a limitation of the way that AVIs play their sound through the old
VideoForWindows interface. The problem is explained in detail in Chapter 15
of Director in a Nutshell (DiaN) free online at
http://www.zeusprod.com/nutshell/downloads

One solution is to play your AVI's using Tabuleiro's DirectXtra, which
plays AVIs through the more modern DirectShow libraries.

DirectShow outputs its sound to DirectSound, unlike the VFW interface which
always sends sound to WaveOut.

Again, this is all explained in Chapter 15 of DiaN if the above leaves you
confused.

Cheers,
Bruce
