Re: [Audyssey] need help with a sound issue
Hi Sylvester, When you extract the DirectX setup files to your hard drive it should create a file called dxsetup.exe in your temp directory. If you click on dxsetup.exe it should run the DirectX upgrade. I get this question so often I think when I put up the latest DirectX upgrade I'll extract the file, rename dxsetup.exe to setup.exe, and just zip the setup so it is easier for people. P.S. What version of Windows are you running? The reason I ask is because the version of DirectX I have on my site isn't the latest, and should not be installed on Windows 7. Smile.

Tom, I downloaded the direct exe from your web site and when I click on it it ask me for a location to store the files, can this be any where on my system? Secondly when I do pick a location and click on the zip file there are five files in there and none of them are a set up file or any type of self running file, so I am wondering what to do with those five files that are opened up.

That tends to cause more problems than it is worth so you will want to install an upgrade as soon as possible to insure you didn't break anything by downgrading like that. Anyway, if you want to know the current build of DirectX you are running you need to run the dxdiag program. Unfortunately, it isn't very specific in terms of weather you have say a March or Auggest release of DirectX, but you can get some info. Go to start, click on run, and type in dxdiag in the edit field, and click on ok. The dxdiag program will ask you if you want to check your drivers etc. Answer no, and a window will appear displaying various system info including your DirectX build number.

Re: [Audyssey] need help with a sound issue
hi Sylvester, the way to find the directX version is in your run box type dxdiag You will get a window full of stats on your system plus the version of directX. Things to check, Do you have version 1.0.3 of the game? Did you take your speech program out of memory? Are you using the sound blaster equalizer? You can find this by going to volume then hit alt and will find it in the first combo box. If it is set for sound blaster try the other setting. You also might find an updated audigy driver on the sound blaster web site. good luck.
