justacruzr2 Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 After fixing the sound problem I went back to checking everything that's been installed so far to make sure everything is OK. I found a new problem: Direct X Diagnostics has a problem. At start up it gives me the error message "0x80004005 (Generic Failure). The Sound tab gives me the same failure code for a different reason as shown in this picture. Failure at step 3 (Direct Sound Create). The Music tab gives me the same failure code again, for a different reason, but only when highlighting the Microsoft Synthesizer entry as shown in this picture. Failure at step 6 (Activating the Direct Music port). All the other items work fine and produce the expected test sounds. So my questions are could the installation of DirectX 9.0c before I fixed the sound problem be the problem? And what is the Micrsoft Synthesizer? Is it the DLS Synthesizer? Here are 2 pictures of the same thing in Millenium. The second picture is scrolled up a little to show all the entries in Millennium. Millennium has no problems. Also, there are more entries in Millennium. Is that because Millennium is a little more advanced than 98se or am I missing something in 98se?

awkduck Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 How many hardware/vendor I.D.s are listed in you audio card inf file (wdma_int.inf)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm at work right now so I can't tell you right now but my guess would be several. I'm going to be away until Monday so I'll get you a better answer then. Thanks.

justacruzr2 Posted January 23, 2023 Author Share Posted January 23, 2023 Never mind. I had a hunch that it was related to the sound card not be installed before I installed DirectX 9c. I re-installed it and it works fine now. Thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
