Audio Encoding problem (Nero)

[lolyondaime]

I've looked around the forums and have noticed a lot of people with this error yet none of it seemed to help me with my error due to the situation seeming to be just slightly different. I'm getting this dreaded error:

I'm not quite sure how to go about fixing it I'm relatively new and have been encoding my video/audio the same way for the last 7 months without problem but for some reason this decided to start happening today without (to my knowledge) anything changing from how it usually is. Here's the rest of the logs if it helps.

Maybe the problem is:

[Information] Output from encoder via stdout: ERROR: could not open AAC encoder

E:\MeGUI_2341_x86\tools\eac3to\neroAacEnc.exe exist?

[lolyondaime]

Hello sorry for the late reply, yes its there.

i have:

all located in my E:\MeGUI_2341_x86\tools\eac3to\

[tebasuna51]

I found the problem, sorry to don't see first time:

[Information] Sample rate: 192000

This samplerate is not supported by NeroAacEnc, use Sample rate: Change to 48000 Hz, at Nero AAC configuration dialog

[lolyondaime]

Yep you nailed it. Thanks man.

Any idea why that would just suddenly start to happen? I've never had to touch that setting before and it's always worked. It was always on "keep original" for the sample rate previously I believe.

[tebasuna51]

192 KHz is a high quality samplerate used in audio studios but not usual to listen.
