First off, when you say noise, are you referring to static?

Second, are you using DX 7?

Third, is your DirectDraw device created when you play the Sound?

If you answered yes to all 3 questions, then check out this URL

There's more information in that thread than I can give you here.

I have a problem with DirectSound. When it's playing sounds there is some noise, which is not there, when i'm playing it normally (usig WinPlayer etc.) Im using official DS SDK examples. It seems to me that DS increase the volume of noise in sounds. Not only on my computer. Could anyone help me ?

I'm actually using DXSDK 6.0, and no matter if my DirectDraw is created, and yes it's static sounds. Another games don't do this, just this spooky MS exapmles and right know my code too. There must be some...., I just dont know what.
