That’s just an AVI file and you are playing it on DivX Player. The video probably uses a different audio codec that your current version of DivX Player doesn’t support. Try updating your media player and see if it works. Download the latest DivX Player and update your existing version. The latest version supports the following file formats: DivX, AVI, MKV, MP4, and MOV.

Another way to play your AVI file properly is to use VLC. Download the latest VLC media player and install it. It supports Windows XP Service Pack 3, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8.x, and Windows 10. You may also try your video on Windows Media Player since it can play most AVI files.
