i can't use microsoft game voice or roger wilco because
there is an error when tring to run the directplay sound
hardware test in the directx diagnostics under network
tab. i get an error message with a code of 0x80004005.
there is a microsoft knowledge base article-810686 about
this problem but when i try to change the values in the
regisrty as per the article and reboot they go back to the
same as they were before?. the values i set will not take
or hold?. need somones help here!thanks in advance.
 
This most likely a DirectPlay driver issue Albert. Visit your OEM's web
site and download the latest drivers. You might also need to upgrade
your DirectX files as well (www.microsoft.com/directx). The only other
question that comes to mind is to verify that your sound card is capable
of full duplex audio. I know the MS Game Voice only works with such and
I suspect Roger Wilco has similar requirements.
