Comment: This is the error message I get when I try to bring up Winamp. "DirectSound outpout V2.2.6 error
Bad DirectSound driver. Please install proper drivers or select
another device in configuration. Error code:88780078"
(audio on Bios not disabled,not muted,nothing wrong with the speaker)
I don't see the little speak icon on the lower right bottom.(used to be there)
I reinstalled the sound driver and that doesn't help. My computer only makes "bleep" noise.(for all occasions) Could you please give me any advice?

Reply: (edit)Here's an answer I've found: *** First: I downloaded the latest version of sound driver (in my case that was Realtek Ac'97 5.10.0.5420). I installed it as always after restart still having Bad DirectSound pb.
Second: I downloaded totally new ISO windows Xp pro + SP1 file and burned totally new CD.
Third: I reinstalled Windows (updating mode). During the process I received Java msg asking for a pathway of Sound Driver - though i pointed to folder's Realtek Ac'97 5.10.0.5420 main file.
Fourth: Voila! No PROBLEM already 2 weeks. *** Haven't tried it for myself yet...

Reply: (edit)Boot to Safe Mode, and remove the drivers. Reboot and let windows reinstall them. Make sure you have the drivers ready.
