Error in the sound driver of DirectX

Hello,

           As what I have seen in your screenshot above. It shown that you did not installed an audio driver in your PC or device. If possible, I will advise you to install the cd that you bought together with the device that you have. If not, if you are internet connected, kindly research driver genius software. It will detect missing program and download it then install.

Respectfully Yours,
Mitch

Some virus may cause this type of problem. So stay clean your PC from viruses. Windows Media Player can have a problem during the function. To ensure compatibility with the latest DirectX version keep update your hardware (device driver). Such type of problem may also occur your installed driver is unsigned. The virus may cause an internal system error while updating DirectX it. Before updating must Clean and fix window registry because registry problem causes ‘file not found’ error.
 
Remember always turn on system Restore before starting any update and keep checking your DirectX. You can detect easily, if DirectX have any time of problems. Try to the following steps to find out May Direct has a problem or not. Click the run, and then type dxdiag.exe. A message will appear in the notes box if the diagnostic tool detects a problem. Such type of problems may be caused by player version or may be due to DirectX installer. Try the following instructions to fix many DirectX error and DirectX update problems.
• Right Click My Computer
• Select Manage
• Choose Device Manager
• Then Universal Serial Bus Controllers
     
Then if you will see a message like this ‘please insert the compact disk label Realtek AC97 Audio Driver disk' into your CD-ROM drive and then click OK. While you are installing, it is possible you to lose sound because DirectX installs a new set of extensions for the sound drivers. After restarting the computer sound come back or not. It is recommended that you download the latest version of DirectX. Run dxsetup and refers to the above information on Dxsetup on how to indicate if certified or not. You will need to run dxdiag.exe if you have DirectX 6.0 or higher. It is recommended that you first ensure that your sound card manufacturer does not have a proprietary set of DirectX drivers that may be required to be used for the sound card to properly work
 
Don't install a driver that you find on any websites rather than your manufacture/ vendor’s web site. UN trusted and non verified drivers may harm your PC with viruses. Also different types of problems can be caused by incompatible drivers installed in your system, and sometimes may crash your windows.

To resolve this problem you have to delete the audio drivers and then reinstall them.

For this purpose you have to go to Control Panel and select the System.

And follow the given instructions. 

• Click on Hardware and select the Device Manager.
