Solved: Bad DirectSound Driver Error Code: 88780078
January 14th, 2008 Aizat Computer, Hardware, TipsI have dual boot my laptop with Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon and Windows XP. Last weekend I have redesign my ubuntu appearance to be more like Mac OSX using Mac4Lin(melayubuntu have more about Mac4Lin). Mac4Lin is a open source software to dress up your linux to look similarly like Mac OS. Having fun with my Ubuntu and I forget to use Windows XP. Today, I log in to my Windows XP and what happened? When I open Winamp give me such error. Bad DirectSound driver. Please install proper drivers or select another device in configuration. Error code: 88780078.
I have just installed Call of Duty 4: Moden Warfare but cannot play the games because of this error. When I opened up ny Sound and Audio Devices Properties in Control Panel show that no audio device. I try googling around the error code trying a few solutions and finally I have find the solution.
What I do?
Click Start -> Run… type : services.msc
Click OK. A services (local) window will appear. Scroll down to Windows Audio and double click on it.
A Windows Audio Properties (Local Computer) will appear. Change the startup type on the drop down list to Automatic
Click Apply. And then click Start to make the Service status change to Started. This solution work for me like a charm. I can play mp3 right away. Hope this solution will help you too.
