[0.16.46] Audio Error after loading screen/at main menu
Posted: Wed May 30, 2018 9:35 am
Modal error dialog text: Audio Error "Couldn't initialise audio, audio is disabled."
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.
