I'm getting this error every time I get past the loading screen to the main menu. I have restarted my computer, uninstalled and reinstalled Factorio multiple times both from Steam and from the website, stable and experiemental versions. I have also run Windows update.
The general solution to DirectSoundCreate8 issues for Windows is to update to the latest DirectX, but that is built into Windows 10.
