"Unable to activate DirectSound for selected device"..?
Ever since I got this computer, it's been giving me some lame error and won't let me talk on Ventrilo.
This is the exact error I get every time I log into, or even modify my settings on Ventrilo: "[I][B]Unable to activate DirectSound for selected device. DirectSoundCaptureCreate failed. HR=DSERR_NODRIVER. No sound driver is available for use[/B][/I]" A friend told me that in a nutshell, Ventrilo doesn't realize I have speakers hooked up. This is impossible, considering I have a laptop with built-in speakers that can't be turned off, or unplugged. I'm running Windows 7 64 bit, and apparently I have a Realtek sound card. |

None of these fixed my problem. It worked for 1 month and all of a sudden stopped working.
