Direct Sound Won't Initialize. was created by duploboy

I've seen another topic on here with similar issues but none of the solutions worked for me.

Whenever I try to open I get an error message saying that direct sound couldn't initialize and that I should close any background programs.

I tried installing the new launcher, I reinstalled openAL, I installed the patch. Nothing quite seems to work for me. Have any ideas?

It also won't run unless it is windowed. No idea why.

Sorry, was bussy this week. I need another file.

1. Please start DBST again and don't change any option but simply click <Start Debug Build and create support archive>.
2. After the Debug Build crash/exit attach here the WCS_SupportTool_Data_{name}.7z.

No worries. I appreciate your time. As long as this isn't some elaborate ploy to steal all my personal information.

Here's that data.

I am no data dealer or trojan programmer, only the developer of WCS+. ^^ You can see what you send me if you unpack the archive simply with 7Zip or any other unpacker with 7Zip capabilities. There are no sensible data in the DBST archives, only lot of tech things.

Thx, now i have the most important data. Ok, give me some time for digging in this logs.

I figured as much, I'm just joking a bit.

Ok, i read now all logs:

The WCS installation is okay and OpenAL is correctly installed. The engine try several times to connect to the OpenAL API but without success. Don't know why.

Let's try some:

1. You have OpenAL32.dll in your WCS folder, delete it.
2. Uninstall OpenAL.
3. Reinstall your sound driver.
4. Reinstall OpenAL with oalinst.exe from WCS folder.
5. Try again.

Now to the graphic issue: you have a Intel GPU (HD Graphics 4600). My experience the last years shows, that the Intel GPU isn't the best solution for WCS and there are 3 possibilities, depending to the type of Intel GPU:

1. don't work.
2. works only in windowed mode.
3. works fully.
