Go to Start, Run and type dxdiag in the box.

That will give you the full info on the DirectX components installed
on your system. Look at the bottom of the first page at the version.
Is it the current version -- 9.0b?

Look at the other dialog boxes and see if there are errors reported.

You might need to install the newer DirectX version, or reinstall the
version you've got. Or your sound card is so old that it does not work
with the version of DirectX that you have installed. I have a 5 year
old machine and if I run the sound components in the dxdiag the system
freezes.
