I am getting the following error when i start up Squad Battles Pacific War :
"failed to create direct sound object"
any help would be appreciated.
thanks
Make sure you have DirectX installed,and the drivers for the sound board
I know that directx is installed. where do i check for the sound board.
I updated my directx drivers to version 10. Still no luck. What am I missing.
Do you hear any sound when you try to listen to a song for example?Any sound at all?
hello Raz,
Yes i hear the sound when I try playing music and other games. Its just when i when i load PW is when i get the error message.
Technically speaking,Direct Sound is part of DirectX,the part,that handles-surprise,surprise,the sound.It's rather strange that you can hear sound/music in other games but not for this particular one.
One you can still do is run a DirectX test.Click on the Start button,hit Run,and type "dxdiag".This should open the DirectX Diagnostic Tool.Click on the Sound tab,and run the test.That should at least tell if your directx/sound drivers are working ok.
thanks for reply raz,
I tested the sound and it was ok. I could here the sound. Should i just uninstall and reinstall the game?
this was the problem, for future players in any squad battle games:
anyone having sound problems can just remove the setupapi.dll after you install and voila! sound.
I found this in another forum.
thanks
Hey, it also worked for PZC's Kursk '43!
Thank you very much!!!!
