My soundcard isn't working

**Jonster** · 12-12-2004, 04:14 PM

I'm getting an error whenever I try to play a sound and there's nothign coming out at all.
About 45 minutes ago it was fine, and I was listening to an album, now it's not working at all, and the only thing I can think of that could affect it is that the AdAware scan I ran made it go wrong.

The error I get from Winamp:

Bad DirectSound driver. Please install the proper drivers or select another device in configuration.
Error Code: 88780032

The error I got when I tried to play a sound in the Windows sound config:

Windows cannot play the %SystemRoot%\media\Windows XP Error.wav file. The file may be damaged or may use an unrecognised compression format. To resolve this problem, replace the file or use the Add/Remove Programs in Control panel to install Audio Compression.

Erm, help!
