[Solved] DirectSound Unhandled Exception

[Rushyo]

Occurs only when there are no sound devices installed. Installing a sound driver and setting it as the active Windows sound device solves the issue.

I'm not on the machine in question so I can't copy 'n paste but the end of the call stack looks like this:

SlimDX.Result.Throw[T](Args)
SlimDX.Result.Record[T](Args)
SlimDX.DirectSound.DirectSound..ctor()
AIWar.DirectSoundWrapper.Initialize(Control Parent)
AIWar.GameForm.GameForm_Load(Args)

(I really wish all games provided you with stack dumps like this...)

Hi there, welcome to the forums and  thanks for your support of the game!

Thanks for reporting this error, I had not tried that particular sort of test before.  From your description, it sounds like simply installing an active sound driver is a current workaround.  I'm actually out of town right now, but I'll keep this on my list and have a failover option added in to the next release after I'm back.  Thanks!

Okay, here's a new version that should fix this:  http://arcengames.com/forums/index.php/topic,494.msg2767.html#msg2767
