Hmm, I come up with very little when I google that directsound error, unfortunately.  But given that this is some sort of internal error in directsound (it's below the level of AI War), there's not a whole lot I can do, even more unfortunately. 

It's possible that your directsound is a bit out of date or has something slightly messed up with it, or it's possible that teamspeak was momentarily exclusively hogging sound output for some reason, or something along those lines.  But I've definitely used teamspeak and similar with the game, and normally this isn't a problem; you might try refreshing with the latest DirectX 9.0c install, not sure.
