clip no sound

Dear Sir/Madam,
I have an AVI file that I received from others. I can
play it with Media Player without problems (i.e., with
sound). So I think I have the right codec for it already.
But if I put it onto Vegas 8.0's timeline, it
doesn't have sound. Why can't Vegas find the codec just
like Media Player does?

Vegas will only use certain codecs. Just because a file can be played back in various media players doesn't mean that Vegas will know how to edit it. Playing and editing are two different things.
What I would do is download a little utility called GSpot. Open the AVI file with it and it will tell you what codec is being used for both audio and video. Then try and find a utility that will convert from whatever codec is being used for audio into a WAV file that Vegas can understand. You can then drop the WAV file on the timeline and it should line up fine with the video.
