I was wondering if I could get dolphin to run without the sound working on my computer? i just got a gtx 210 and i want ot try it out but dolphin keeps crashing because the hle plugin cant play sound because its not working right now. (i will fix sound eventually, i just want to try the new card out.

try taking the HLE plugin from earlier revisions (rev 4xxx) and place it in your plugin directory. then use the NullSound backend.

or just disable everything in the HLE plugin settings and turn down the volume.

I know this problem I think, Dolphin is complaining 'bout the sound driver right? just install it, don't waste hours for nothing :p. Just install the sound driver.

Sorry for the delay, but it is not a driver problem. I have reinstalled the drivers, cleared the registry, reset the gpu, and tried everything that Google came up with. Its a hardware problem because my hardware manager cant detect a sound device.
Dolphin crashes with the problem something like "unable to initialize HLE: no sound device found." im running 2.0 btw
And i tried disabling sound and even removing the plugin. It just causes more crashes.
I guess i'll just have to wait till it gets fixed.
But my rig isn't dust anymore. I cam play Portal maxed out!!! WHOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
