Error occurred during directplay voice setup 0x80004005

Joined Dec 9, Messages 45, Thank you, but unluckly me, after trying all the suggestions my problem still exist. What version of XP do you have? What happens if you change the registry value for "micdetected" to 3?

That's my default value right now. And does your Device Manager show more than one installed sound device, for example an onboard sound chip as well as an installed sound card?

Do you have any installed applications such as anti-spyware or anti-virus which monitor and block registry changes without express permission? Aside from the error itself with the sound hardware test, what does not work? Rollin' Rog said:. No error messages though. If you want to configure a Microphone setting I recommend the "speech" applet in the control panel if you have MS Office installed or Microsoft Word. This will set your microphone to its optimum sensitivity level and override other settings.

If you have the latter, you really want to disable the former in the BIOS to avoid confusing Windows and other conflicts that can occur. The error code is 0xc I believe the "Sigmatel" entry is for an onboard chip correct me if I'm wrong, and this is something you installed. I'm not sure what the "USB" Audio device is though. Is this a laptop to which you have installed a USB sound device? An error occurred during DirectPlay Voice Setup.

Meaning there is a conflict between two devices or processes fighting over the same memory. It seems like this error occurs with onboard chips a lot from google searches. I have one experience with a USB headset -- bought and returned it. The reason was that to use it required me to disable my installed sound card.

Then, when I was through using it and wanted to hear sounds through my normal speakers, I had to go back and switch to the sound card. What a hassle -- I returned it the same day. I'm wondering if you don't have some configuration conflict between the headset and the soundcard.

Which are you using? I coudn't use both at the same time. I mainly use the headset but the speakers and headset work at the same time. In the Sounds and Audio Devices applet in the Control Panel, what do you have selected for both your playback and recording devices under both the Audio and Voice tabs?

Is both the headset and the Sigmatel device listed as options? Yes, I can select either one. Started by learningcurve72 Yesterday at PM Replies: 0. Laptop General Discussion. Question Can a 5.

Hey h3adsh0tasc did your microphone come with a cd when you bought it? Also do you play counter-strike? Also can i have the brand name and model of the microphone?

Edited by Ntd, 03 July - AM. EDIT: i found the add new program but, i could not find a dpvsetup. Do you think my mic is broken? Edited by h3adsh0tasc, 03 July - AM. Posted 03 July - PM.

To find add new hardware wizard goto control pannels and try to install through the wizard. Also have you tryed to return it to the place you purchased it for an exchange?
