Hey guys,

 

Today I opened up fs and I got this pop up saying PMDG Sound Processor: error with directsound...??? So I downloaded the directsound.dll and tried putting it in the PMDG SOUND folder and nothing worked? FS doesn't even open. Can someone please help, I really want to play fs Thanks, and here's a picture!

Try re-installing Direct X v9.

Thanks Oliver but that doesn't make sense to me? I have VISTA and Vista doesn't work that way? Can you please send me a link to fix this problem with VISTA or explain to me how to do it step by step? Sorry, I'm bad at computers, thanks!

The Link I gave you was for Windows 98, I can't find anything for Vista (Plus I don't use it). Maybe try updating your soundcard drivers?

Lol yeah I was wondering why it wouldn't work for me lol. Can someone please send me a link like that to vista? Also a noobie question, but where can I check what type of video card I have so I can update the latest drivers for it?

Something really weird just happened! I just plugged in my headset because I had no speakers or anything plugged in at the time and I opened fs and it worked! So then I unplugged my headset and opened fs again and fs didn't work and I got the same pop up? What's going on? Why won't fs work unless I have something plugged in?

You somehow made your headset a Windows standard sound device which is queried by the PMDG.

Yeah the speakers also work too. How can I change it back to normal?
