How do I detect if DSound is installed?
If you do not need to use DirectSoundEnumerate() to list the available DSound devices, don’t link your application with dsound.lib and instead use it via COMs CoCreateInstance(CLSID_DirectSound…) then initialize the DSound object using Initialize(NULL). If you need to use DirectSoundEnumerate(), you can dynamically load dsound.dll using LoadLibrary(“dsound.dll”); and access its methods using GetProcAddress(“DirectSoundEnumerateA/W”) and GetProcAddress(“DirectSoundCreateA/W”) and so on.
