Question

I downloaded latest SharpDX v2.2 and built the samples in the SharpDXSamples.sln

enter image description here

When I attempt to run an example that uses XAudio2,

enter image description here

the sample crashes with the following error

enter image description here

Here's the stack trace:

  at SharpDX.Result.CheckError()
   at SharpDX.Utilities.CreateComInstance(Guid clsid, CLSCTX clsctx, Guid riid, ComObject comObject)
   at SharpDX.XAudio2.XAudio2..ctor(XAudio2Flags flags, ProcessorSpecifier processorSpecifier)

Any ideas on what is going on? Do I need some other library installed???

Was it helpful?

Solution

Currently, SharpDX desktop samples are working if you have installed DirectX Runtime June 2010 Runtime

They have not been yet ported to use DirectX11.1, though changes are minimal. If you want to use DirectX11.1, you need to change referenced assemblies from standard-net20 to Win8Desktop-net20 and also a couple of compilation errors to fix (methods changed/removed in DirectX11.1).

Work has been focused so far on Windows 8 Metro, but future SharpDX release will hopefully provide compatible desktop samples running under DirectX June 2010 and DirectX11.1.
