Methods to Fix the Directsound.dll Errorslink

ATTENTION! Before beginning the installation of the Directsound.dll library, you must download the library. If you don't know how to download the library or if you are having a problem while downloading, you can look at our download guide a few lines above.

Method 1: Fixing the DLL Error by Copying the Directsound.dll Library to the Windows System Directorylink

  1. The file you are going to download is a compressed file with the '.zip' extension. You cannot directly install the '.zip' file. First, you need to extract the dynamic link library from inside it. So, double-click the file with the '.zip' extension that you downloaded and open the file.
  2. You will see the library named 'Directsound.dll' in the window that opens up. This is the library we are going to install. Click the library once with the left mouse button. By doing this you will have chosen the library.
  3. Click the 'Extract To' symbol marked in the picture. To extract the dynamic link library, it will want you to choose the desired location. Choose the 'Desktop' location and click 'OK' to extract the library to the desktop. In order to do this, you need to use the Winrar program. If you do not have this program, you can find and download it through a quick search on the Internet.
  4. Copy the 'Directsound.dll' library you extracted and paste it into the 'C:WindowsSystem32' directory.
  5. If your operating system has a 64 Bit architecture, copy the 'Directsound.dll' library and paste it also into the 'C:WindowssysWOW64' directory.
    NOTE! On 64 Bit systems, the dynamic link library must be in both the 'sysWOW64' directory as well as the 'System32' directory. In other words, you must copy the 'Directsound.dll' library into both directories.
  6. In order to run the Command Line as an administrator, complete the following steps.
    NOTE! In this explanation, we ran the Command Line on Windows 10. If you are using one of the Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista or Windows XP operating systems, you can use the same methods to run the Command Line as an administrator. Even though the pictures are taken from Windows 10, the processes are similar.
    1. First, open the Start Menu and before clicking anywhere, type 'cmd' but do not press Enter.
    2. When you see the 'Command Line' option among the search results, hit the 'CTRL' + 'SHIFT' + 'ENTER' keys on your keyboard.
    3. A window will pop up asking, 'Do you want to run this process?'. Confirm it by clicking to 'Yes' button.
  7. Let's copy the command below and paste it in the Command Line that comes up, then let's press Enter. This command deletes the Directsound.dll library's problematic registry in the Windows Registry Editor(The library that we copied to the System32 directory does not perform any action with the library, it just deletes the registry in the Windows Registry Editor. The library that we pasted into the System32 directory will not be damaged).
    %windir%System32regsvr32.exe /u Directsound.dll
  8. If you are using a 64 Bit operating system, after doing the commands above, you also need to run the command below. With this command, we will also delete the Directsound.dll library's damaged registry for 64 Bit (The deleting process will be only for the registries in Regedit. In other words, the dll file you pasted into the SysWoW64 folder will not be damaged at all).
    %windir%SysWoW64regsvr32.exe /u Directsound.dll
  9. In order to cleanly recreate the dll library's registry that we deleted, copy the command below and paste it into the Command Line and hit Enter.
    %windir%System32regsvr32.exe /i Directsound.dll
  10. Windows 64 Bit users must run the command below after running the previous command. With this command, we will create a clean and good registry for the Directsound.dll library we deleted.
    %windir%SysWoW64regsvr32.exe /i Directsound.dll
  11. You may see certain error messages when running the commands from the command line. These errors will not prevent the installation of the Directsound.dll library. In other words, the installation will finish, but it may give some errors because of certain incompatibilities. After restarting your computer, to see if the installation was successful or not, try running the program that was giving the dll error again. If you continue to get the errors when running the program after the installation, you can try the 2nd Method as an alternative.
