error codes explained?
Maybe this is wrong forum to put this question. If so I beg your pardon. If not:
Trying to find explanation to error codes in after effects. Having problems with “opening soundmodule” (-2166). Any ideas where to find them? Many thanks

Other than a search on Google, no.
When are you getting the error?

Thanks for resopnding.
So far I havent found anything via google…
It occurs quite often when opening the waveform of a soundlayer and always when scrubbing (cmd+drag). Thus I can’t work with sync between audio and image other than just guessing where to put keyframes.

Have you tried reinstalling the software?

If reinstalling AE fails, try reinstalling and/or updating the drivers for your sound card.
Where did the file come from? It’s possible that AE may have problems reading the codec that the audio is in.

I guess the good news is that this is a known issue. You’re probably using Quicktime version 7.0.3, or as I unfortunately discovered today ver. 7.0.4 is also subject to the problem. You’ll need to downgrade back to 7.0.1. Apple has created a downgrader (admitting the problem, but apparently not fixing it in this latest version of quicktime). You can get it here:

Great! Thank you Greg for the tip. It works fine after reinstalling QT 7.0.1. Thanks all of you that took precious time to look in to my dilemma.

hello everybody
i’m having the same problem with AE, but I have a Windows XP system, sp2 included, with quick time 7.0.3 and I wasn’t able to find the reinstaler for windows…
Thank you a lot for your answers
