Hi, I've installed Xpress Pro 5.8, when I play the program it says "Failed to initialize audio harware", then it closes.

I'd like to know what is the problem. Is there any drivers? I've got Realtek HD hardware...

And I've disconnected my webcam, I know it can getting me some problems.

Firstly Avid runned without audio, but now says that.

Thanks very much!

Based on other forums about the same topic, I think it's pretty safe to say that Realtek and Avid don't work well together.

Try searching the forums for other solutions people may have used, or do the easy thing: buy a cheap Soundblaster sound card from Wal-mart and try that.

Hope this helps!
