Re: [fluid-dev] Re: FluidSynth 1.1.1 has no sound on Win XP

[Felix Krause]

I'm having a similar problem here.

I compiled fluidsynth on Windows 7 and try to use it on XP. It works only if I 
use the file audio driver. When I try to use dsound, fluidsynth gives me an 
error and quits:

fluidsynth: error: Failed to create the DirectSound object
failed to create the audio driver

I did install the latest DirectX 9 runtime, but is it possible that when 
compiling fluidsynth on Windows 7, it links against DX10 and thus doesn't work 
with DX9? By the way, I need the 1.1.3 version and also libsndfile support, so 
the binary from Qsynth is not an option.

Cheers,
Felix
