I need to finish a project for tomorrow, and have been able to edit my video when importing sounds necessary for the video. I believe this is due to a "directSound failure" found running the utility dxdiag. Can someone please tell me how to fix this?


DirectSound test results: Failure at step 3 (DirectSoundCreate): HRESULT = 0x88780078 (No driver)


Thanks for any info. I have DirectX 9 installed.

have you tried reinstalling it?? or, if you have XP, have you installed something lately? if so you can try system restore

Have you tried updating or reinstalling the drivers for your sound card?

Restore did not work, and I did not modify my drivers. For some reason though, my driver disappeared. I installed a new one and its working now.

thanks guys
