    Dreaded .avi files love giving me headaches. No audio.

      I understand the stupidity behind editing .avi files to begin with, but this is a stupid project I'm working on for a film history class, I was almost done, then this happened, and I was wondering if anyone could help me with a strange issue I'm encountering.

       

      I have a desktop computer which operates Windows 7 as well as a laptop running Windows 8. Both currently have Premiere Pro CC 2014 installed. The Windows 8 computer has had CS6 as well as earlier versions of CC in the past. The Win7 computer has only ever had Creative Cloud.

       

      I import a file into Premiere on my windows 8 machine right? No issues. Waveform is there. Audition can interpret the audio, encoder can spit it back out flawlessly.

      Same exact video, in fact, I've tried this with the same exact project file several times, and on my Windows 7 machine, the audio is a no show.

      Here's the video information. I've uninstalled and re-installed codecs, re-installed Premiere, done all the weird "move this thing here" that solved such an issue for people back in the days of CS3, and none of it solves my issue. I assume  I have conflicting codecs somewhere or Windows 7 really isn't as superior to Windows 8 as all the people on the internet seem to claim.

      Any help would be greatly appreciated. I would just work on my laptop but it has an overheating issue at the moment where it starts to sputter and putter as soon as premiere is open, so I can't really risk frying the thing.
