  • This issue indicates that the audio device could not be initialized properly. Usually this either happens if there is a configuration issue in Windows, or a driver issue.
    Please try this: Rightclick on the small speaker icon in the lower right corner of the Desktop -> Sounds -> go to "Playback" and disable all unused devices (rightclick on them -> disable). Also make sure that the correct device is selected as default device (select it and hit "Set Default").


    If that doesn't help, please try to download and install the latest audio driver from the alienware homepage.
