BUG: Sound Fails to Continue in DirectSound ID: Q139924 The information in this article applies to: Microsoft Win32 Software Development Kit (SDK), version 4.0 Microsoft Game Software Development Kit (SDK) version 1.0 SYMPTOMS If a DirectSound application's window is minimized while it is playing a sound, the sound fails to resume when the window is maximized. Note that the transition from the minimized to the maximized state is the only transition that leads to a problem. All other state transitions behave as expected. For example, if a non-maximized window is minimized and then restored to its former size, the sound resumes properly. Also the problem does not occur if a non-minimized window is maximized. RESOLUTION If the maximized window for which the sound failed to restart is reduced to a smaller sized, non-minimized window, the sound will restart. STATUS Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
