I noticed in Steam-related games that if you are having sound troubles you
are suggested to change your "dx level" to 90 or 80 and even lower to see if
the problem is resolved.

What are these dx levels? And are there sound card/video card problems that
adjusting dx levels can fix?
 
Hi Joel,

To change your dx level: right click on steam --> games -->
click on css -->click properties --> click "set launch options"
and enter: -dxlevel 70 (or -dxlevel 80, or 90, 95 etc..)
