    It means you called a function DirectSoundCreate, but you never supplied any code for it.

    You need to link with the DirectX library files, MSDN will tell you which ones are needed (look up that function), and then add it to the Linker section of Project Settings.

    Talking OK

    Thanks for that. I will try to correct it, and if any more problems come about, i will post again.
    However, tomorrow i'll just delete this if it works

    You shouldn't delete messages. Leave them here for future reference. Someone might have the same problem and when they search the forums and find this post they don't have to ask it again...
    Never argue with fools, they will only drag you down to their level, and beat you with experience.

    Q: How do you tell an experienced hacker from a novice?
    A: The latter thinks there's 1000 bytes in a kilobyte, while the former is sure there's 1024 meters in a kilometer
