Hi !

I have a problem with my DirectSound support in SM. I've used SM a long time without having installed the driver of my second sound card (Creative Audigy ZS 2 Notebook), everything worked perfectly. Now I installed the driver of the second sound card, and it also seems to work perfectly, BUT: When I try to use the DirectSound-Out Module in SM I get several error messages. And it doesn't matter which sound card is selected in the module.

The error messages are: 1. DSERR_BADFORMAT 2. CDirectSound::Error> CDirectSound::HostOpenStream> hError 3. CDirectSound::Error> CDirectSound::OpenStream> hError 4. CDirectSound::Error> CDXLMain::InitDirectSound> hError

all of those messages appear 2 times (I guess for each of my sound card)

I don't realy understand that, because DirectSound works in other programs, like winamp... And I also used both sound cards with SM before. So I think it is not a SM bug.

Any ideas?

PS: My DX version is 9.0c

Addition: If I uninstall the driver, the problem still exists.... f***

puh... I've been searching 5 hours for the problem now, and finally I got it.

The installer from creative accidently set my windows standard audio input to my internal modem. And I guess it doesn't support 44kHz Stereo 😀 So Synthmaker returned a badformat error.

Thanks for help 😈 😈 😈

Glad to hear you got it sorted. Sorry for the lack of help, I was thinking (honest) but couldn't come up with any suggestions as to what it might be.

I'm sure your internal modem enjoyed it's brief spell in the limelight 😉
