Error Initializing XAudio2 + Directx Jun 2010 DXSETUP Error
Hey Guys, I'm new here, and I made this post, because I'm going insane (not literally).
This is a fun, and long history starring by these two errors that I've written in the tittle.
(And, by the way, sorry, if I mistake something writing this, I speak Spanish, and I'm currently learning English, so it could be some grammar errors. Sorry for that)
Well, I'm putting you into context:
If you play video games you may know, but for those who not, today, in the epic games store, they've released for free a game called Sonic Mania. Obviously, I wasn't going to leave that opportunity, and got the game this same morning.
But, the problem started here:
When I launch the game, it launches this error:
"Error Initializing XAudio2. You may need to install the Jun 2010 DirectX update to have the XAudio Drivers. Sound will not be available during this session"
As you can read, the game needs the Jun 2010 update from DirectX, and if I don't have that drivers, the sound will not be in the game.
So, the first thing I did, obviously, it's get the Jun 2010 update, I downloaded from the Microsoft official website, and it gave me a lot of .rar files and a .exe file called DXSETUP.
But, that's when the dead end starts. When I execute the .exe it starts normally, but eventually it stops and shows this message:
"An internal system error occurred. Please refer to DXError.log and DirectX.log in your Windows folder to determine the problem"
So, let's go and check this log files!
DirectX.log says the following (it's a lot, so, obviously, I'm not going to put all the log file here):
06/24/21 14:22:05: dxupdate: Currently C:\Windows\SysWOW64\x3daudio1_0.dll is newer than the one being installed.06/24/21 14:22:05: dxupdate: DirectXUpdateInstallPlugIn(): Registering: XACT_x86.inf - [DllRegisterServer]06/24/21 14:22:05: dxupdate: RegisterDLL(): LoadLibraryEx() failed, error = 193.06/24/21 14:22:05: dxupdate: RegisterDLL(): Unable to load C:\Windows\system32\xactengine2_0.dll.06/24/21 14:22:05: dxupdate: DirectXUpdateInstallPlugIn(): RegisterDllFromSection() failed.06/24/21 14:22:05: dsetup32: CSetup::InstallPlugIn(): DirectXUpdateInstallPlugIn() failed.06/24/21 14:22:05: dsetup32: CSetup::SetupForDirectX(): InstallPlugIn() failed.06/24/21 14:22:05: dsetup32: start finalizing: phase: 256 - 256, total: 0 - 2006/24/21 14:22:05: DXSetup: DSetupCallback(): Phase = 3, Steps = 006/24/21 14:22:06: dsetup32: Installation ended with value -9 = Internal or unsupported error06/24/21 14:22:12: DXSetup: WM_APP_ENDINSTALL06/24/21 14:22:12: DXSetup: ~CDXWSetup()
Notice that it's the end of the log file.
And, what says the DXError? (Like the other log file, I'm just putting a part of it, this time, the beggining)
--------------------[06/24/21 13:39:00] module: dxupdate(Mar 30 2011), file: dxupdate.cpp, line: 2234, function: RegisterDLL Failed API: LoadLibraryEx() Error: (193) - %1 no es una aplicación Win32 válida. Unable to load C:\Windows\system32\xactengine2_0.dll.--------------------[06/24/21 13:39:00] module: dxupdate(Mar 30 2011), file: dxupdate.cpp, line: 5861, function: DirectXUpdateInstallPlugIn RegisterDllFromSection() failed.--------------------[06/24/21 13:39:01] module: dsetup32(Mar 30 2011), file: dxupdate.cpp, line: 280, function: CSetup::InstallPlugIn DirectXUpdateInstallPlugIn() failed.--------------------[06/24/21 13:39:01] module: dsetup32(Mar 30 2011), file: setup.cpp, line: 1727, function: CSetup::SetupForDirectX InstallPlugIn() failed.
And next to all of it, the file says almost the same things.
And now, what you've tried?
I'VE TRIED EVERYTHING. I've read forums (especially the windows ones), watched videos, visited websites, used other searching tools, like DuckDuckGo, Bing.
1) Reinstall DirectX: FAILED
2) Change that numbers from Regedit in the folder of DirectX: FAILED
3) Installing dxwebsetup.exe provided by Windows official site: FAILED
4) Modify DirectX's version in the registry, so I could reinstall everything with dxwebsetup.exe: FAILED
5) Rebooted my PC: FAILED.
6) Used cleaning programs: FAILED.
7) Deactivated my antivirus (Bitdefender), and I even uninstalled it: FAILED
I will leave this video uploaded in my YT channel, showing all the problems I've described to you, hope this helps:

My last option is reinstalling my Windows, but I'm not doing this just because of one game. I don't know what to do, guys, you're my last hope. Thank you.
