Cant get sound on .avi file

I have a file that needed the XviD codec, and I installed it. But now I dont have sound...

I went to the site again with my 3 pc's running XP home, XP Media Center, and Vista Ultimate and downloaded the codec and the video works perfectly fine. (Downloaded the proper codec for each OS).

Can anyone help me figure out how to get sound? I know it isnt the video, because it works fine on my 3 pc's. Also, one of my movies has the audio encoded with "AC-3" codec or something.... Can someone give me a link to download the proper "ac-3" codec for Mac?

24inch 3.06Ghz iMac. 4 gigs of RAM. 1TB HD., Mac OS X (10.5.5), Hp Pavilion dv8000t. Windows Vista Ultimate.

Thanks for the help. I got all to play. But they are missing the audio.

Most of the Videos are
"XviD 1.0 Codec, 616 x 336, Unknown
MPEG Layer 3, Stereo, 48.000 kHz"

And the last video is
"XviD 1.0 Codec, 768 x 432, Millions
AC3, 5.1 (L R C LFE Ls Rs), 48.000 kHz"

I checked to make sure that it wasn't my sound messed up... or on mute. And I am able to hear stuff from Safari and Front Row.
