Default Age Of Empires 3 Error

this game still doesnt want to work on my system,
i have downloaded and installed this codec, and still keep getting the same
error.
ive had this problem since the beta 2 release of vista.
details of error are below.....

the fraunhofer iis mpeg layer 3 codec (13codecx.ax) can not be found on this
computer.
it is a required component of microsoft directshoow, and is required for
proper sound playback in age of empires 3.
please quit out and reinstall this codec befor continuing.
if you choose to continue, an alternative audio coodec may be used which may
cause problems including choppy sound, missing sound, delayed sound and
possible game crashes.

Hmm, i've never installed AOE3 on vista because people kept telling me it
didnt work with RC1 and I just thought if i wanted to play it until Vista
was released i would just swap back to Xp every so often to have a game.

But if it works... here i come

Default Running on RTM

I am running AOE on Vista RTM, and got the codec error you got, I just
ignred it, hit OK, then the game ran just fine.

I have an ASUS motherboard with integrated sound, maybe you need to upgrade
your sound card.
