Maybe not the most common scenario on PCs these days, but I ran into it while RDPing a Windows PC without setting up the audio.
The symptoms were that I got the 'DirectX SDK June 2010 not installed, so there'll be no sound' message in the first screen. I ignored that as I wasn't interested in sound anyway, but I got a crash if I proceeded to try and run a scenario.
I was meddling with the code at the time, so it was a while before I realized what was happening.

A bug is a bug and needs fixing! I’ll check it out.

If you have a debugger attached: The specific function or call stack that’s crashing would speed up the investigation.

Good idea!

Fix in the pipeline. FYI: You *do* have XAudio2 installed, but there is simply no audio device for it to use. I never reached that code path before; thanks a lot for testing and finding that! 🙏

Open TFXplorer Sound.cpp. In line 716, replace

Code: Select all

	return OS::Win32::XAudio2::tryToCreate(audio.myToXAudio, audio.myToSpeakers);

with

Code: Select all

	if(OS::Win32::XAudio2::tryToCreate(audio.myToXAudio, audio.myToSpeakers))
		return yes;

	audio.myToXAudio   = nullptr;
	audio.myToSpeakers = nullptr;
	return no;

Fix has landed.
