What does Cannot create DirectSound 00000001 mean?

[Guest]

Ok. in order to free up some of my ram, I had disabled some of the services
that were running that i thought i no longer needed or needed etc. But after
that I keep getting an error. It is: Cannot Create DirectSound 00000001. What
does this mean? And how do I get my sound back? And what do I have to do? I
already tried re-installing DirectX with the online installer but that didnt
even do anything. Please help!

Go to Start > Run and type: MSCONFIG , and hit enter.
Under the General tab, check "Normal Startup - load all device drivers and services",
click "apply" and reboot.
