Im trying to playback sound using Directsound from DirectX.

I have downloaded the latest DirectX-SDK. I installed the contained DirectX-Version, then I used 7Zip to extract the cab-files.

In VisualStudio I created a project that holds a reference to Microsoft.Directx.directsound.dll

Right now the sourcecode is nothing more than:

VB.NET:
Imports Microsoft.DirectX.DirectSound


Public Class Form1

    Dim _dev As New Device

    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        _dev = New Device
        _dev.SetCooperativeLevel(Me.Handle, CooperativeLevel.Priority)

    End Sub

End Class

When I try to run this I get the Errormessage:

"Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.DirectX.DirectSound.dll' or one of its dependencies. A dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007045A)."

Could anyone help me figure out what I'm doing wrong?
