DirectSoundCaptureCreate failed. HR=DSERR_NODRIVER. No sound driver is available for

jcipco · 09-21-2010, 07:41 AM

I have just purchase a new computer with Windows 7- 64bit. When I try to connect to a WOW game group I get the following message;

"DirectSoundCaptureCreate failed. HR=DSERR_NODRIVER. No sound driver is available for use."

I've changed the settings from Flagship form on Windows 7 cached/ delayed but still get the above message.

I can see my log-in to the group but I can not hear any one talking.

I had a Windows XP computer before and Vent worked great.

Is there a fix for Windows 7 64bit?

Testing the Microphone with Windows

I have encountered the same error message. My comp is also new and have windows 7 but never had a problem before with the old computer and windows XP. It lets me log in and I can hear others talking but I cannot figure out how to get it to allow me to speak to others.

I have tried messing with the setup and options but nothing changes it. My computer recognizes the mic, the green bars register sound into the mic when i test it, but for some reason ventrilo does not.

Anyone know of a fix please?!

in vent setup, try unchecking 'use directsound' then set the name to the mic device

did you try creating a recording then playing it back?

Well that DID make the error message in Vent go away, but I still cannot communicate.

Outside of vent my mic does record at very low level even when boosted to 100% and the play back is very faint even with everything maxed out.

@ mrrico

does your icon turn green when keying up?

if not then:

try setting both Vent and any online game to ‘Run As Administrator’ (rt-click their icon / properties / compatibility tab / privilege level) or (rt-click their icon and select 'Run as Administrator')

--------

also make sure the 'mute mic' box at the bottom of the main window is unchecked?

-----------

in vent setup, set outbound amplifier to 0

clik the 'test' button, hold ptt and talk, then release and listen to playback. how does it sound?
