unable to create direct sound primary buffer in xp for Tiberian Sun. How do i fix this problem?

reinstall the latest DirectX drivers, failing that, attempt to install the directX that's already on the disc, that might do something.

the game plays fine. the sound is just disabled. before the game even starts it gives me the unable to create direct sound primary buffer. i tried to reinstall the directx from the disc and it would not work.

Don't install DirectX from the Tiberian Sun discs. Its way to old. Windows XP probably won't let you anyway.

 

Get the most recent release of DirectX from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/directx/default.mspx or update the drivers for your sound card.

 

Also you may need to run Tiberian Sun in compatiblity mode.

i am downloading the new software. should i reinstall the game also. this computer does not sure if this computer has a sound card. has this problem been addressed before?

ok let's get more technical. is your sound working fine with other apps? and do you have on board or a card for your sound? I suggest finding the latest sound drivers for your sound output as well
