I can't seem to get my sound card to work. Basically, I can't get sound. When I try to play win amp, I get the following error:
Bad DirectSound driver. Please install proper drivers or select another device in
configuration. Error code: 88780078
I've tried updating the drivers, re-installing directx 9, completely removing the sound card (which consisted of booting up in safe mode, removing the hardware from the hardware profile, removing the software using add/remove, manually deleting the remaining software files and then moving the sound card to a different slot) and updating windows XP. The only solutions that I haven't tried are using system restore (I don't have a save point before I started having this problem), using recovery console (I don't know how to use it properly) or re-installing windows (which I'm reluctant to do). One solution that I saw on the internet for this problem suggested manually deleting the drivers. I would do this, except I don't know exactly what the pertinent drivers are. I've also looked all over google to no avail.
Any ideas?
