Wasn't sure where else to put this but it is specific to SPU-2 X.
I'm using the latest version (SPU2-X r5776 2.0.0) in the latest PCSX2 SVN (v5816).
When I didn't have my headphones plugged in (or speakers, I'm guessing) then I got this error when trying to load a game:
Quote:SPU2-X System Message
Failed creating mastering voice: 0X88960001
My request was that perhaps another line in that error can be added to help people that may stumble across this error like I did.
Something like 'Please make sure you have a sound output device such as speakers or headphones plugged in to your computer, then restart the program'.
I'd figure poking a coder might help rather than just staying silent.
I gotcha. It still might help to put that 'plug in a sound output device' line in the error message rather than just the cryptic error code.
I tested my setup and it seems that my audio stuff is based on whether I have stuff plugged in or not. I'm going to presume it is a quirk of my specific audio hardware on the motherboard and/or the audio drivers.
I'm not sure if it is already in my signature but I'm using Realtek HD Audio on my motherboard. It is already pretty old but at least I figured it out before posting

Well is there any way for this to be added to a commit? Basically just adding in a line recommending to plug in an audio device (headset/headphones/speakers) if you get that error. I feel it is always better than making people come to the forums for every little error they may receive.
In my case the error doesn't prevent me from loading a game, but I had found it very odd when that happened and I'm glad I was able to narrow it down to the no-audio thing.
Switch to portaudio seems good sound just as good xaudio imo, Though both Xaudio and portaudio seem to suffer from random pops/clipping in audio some times
