The ACM Wrapper filter enables codecs that use the Audio Compression Manager(ACM) to join a DirectShow filter graph.

Decompression is only to PCM audio.

When wrapping a compressor, this filter appears in the audio compressor category and can support additional interfaces.

There should never be any need to add it manually to a graph; it is pulled in automatically by the Filter Graph Manager. It is used only for playback or sample rate conversion.

The ACM Wrapper filter supports the following ACM stream codecs:

  • GSM 6.10

  • G.711
