Turns out, the reason the ‘error 3002’ message would be displayed on a few player systems was due to a altered/replaced Microsoft ADPCM codec file that would not allow DBPro to load and play such files. The filename is msapd32.acm. After troubleshooting the issue with several people who encountered the problem, the most likely cause for it was the installation of the ‘K-Lite’ codec pack. For whatever reason(s), installing that codec pack altered the codec file in some way as to prevent DBPro from loading and playing them. To repair it back to the default Windows setup, the original msadp32.acm file needs to be put back into the System32/SysWOW64 folders, overwriting the altered version K-Lite apparently installs. Once that’s done, DBPro programs can again play adpcm files.

SW3D Games! Thank you and thank you Lee, I have not encountered this issue myself but a heads up is all the while valued!

Does this affect OGG playback as well? or all sound in general? [From DBP]

As far as I know, this impacts ADPCM files only.

There could also be other third party codec 'packs' that introduce the same problem, K-Lite just seemed to be the most common cause.

Yep, I had this issue.

Also there is issue with IV50 codec (indeo) and Haali splitter, it is known and it can't be resolved. (affects old games that uses indeo)

So better way to not use any codec packs, better use software with internal codecs, like VLC player or else.

I've had hassle with K-lite too, especially the activemovie window popup. See:

for more info on how I fixed it.
