Hi Jimmy,

I did some investigation of this error code and here's what the error ID is.

DIERR_DEVICENOTREG

Basically, the device you are trying to use is not registered as being
available in the system.

Does your sound card work for playback? Could be the input device alone
that's in error.

You can check what your voice playback device is in the control panel:
Click Start, Control Panel
Click Sounds, Speech and Audio in Category View then Sounds and Audio
Devices
OR
Double-Click Sounds and Audio Devices in Classic View
In the Sound and Audio Device Properties, click the Voice tab.
Make sure the correct default devices are set for your Voice playback and
Voice recording.
If the Default device is blank (as Voice Recording is on my Sound Blaster
Audigy), you will need to refer to the hardware vendor's manual and help
files to set the recording device.

If none of that works, on to the next step...

It sounds like you've already been through the process of getting the latest
sound card drivers for your system. The next step I'd take is to download
the latest version of DirectX. You can do this by going to Windows Update.

After installing the latest version DirectX, try setting up your audio
again.

I hope that helps!
