"dsound fail"

[The Khan Artist]

OK, this is weird. I just finished reinstalling Windows XP and all my software because I royally screwed my graphics drivers. And... now 1964 won't work. I start it up, and I get an error saying "dsound fail" in the status bar in the lower-right corner of the 1964 window. I am using the exact same audio drivers (nForce 2.45) and DX version (9.0b) as before. Different video drivers, but that shouldn't affect DirectSound.

Maybe you're trying to use Jabo's audio plugin, which doesn't work on 1964 0.8.5.

Nope, this is totally unrelated to Jabo's plugin.

well, I dunno a lot that could help you, but try running dxdiag and disabling accelleration. I dunno if it will fix it, but hey, anything's worth a shot.

Go to:

Start>run and type: Services.msc

Go down to Winows Audio Service, and double click it, ensure it is in start mode (and automatically set to start).

Well, neither of those things fixed it, but I was screwing around with the 1964 settings and somehow it works now... weird. Thanks anyway.
