Help with sound card drivers
« on: June 24, 2009, 11:18:11 AM »
Hey

Just got new sounds card, cannot get it to work get the following error message when using the directx Diagnostic tool.

DirectSound test results: Failure at step 3 (DirectSoundCreate): HRESULT = 0x8878000a (The request failed because DirectSound resources, such as the priority level, were already in use by another caller.)

Windows Xp S3
Packard Bell

Cheers

Did your computer have integrated audio that needs to be disabled?

You may also need to enable the Windows Audio Service.
