x3daudio1_7.dll is a system component that is part of the Microsoft DirectX library. Specifically, we are talking about correct sound reproduction. If the library is damaged or a file is missing, an error occurs when you try to launch the game because the system did not detect the required software.
What is this file?
Any operating system consists of separate libraries, and those, in turn, are divided into files. Taken together, all this should work correctly and have the latest version. Otherwise we will experience a crash. In our case, the problem occurred when opening a pirated version of SnowRunner.
How to Install
The problem of a missing component is solved by manual installation. Let's look at the simple step-by-step instructions.
- First, we load the archive with completely unnecessary data, unpack the contents and place them in a directory, taking into account the bit depth of the operating system. Using the button indicated in the screenshot below, we approve access to administrator rights.
For Windows 32 Bit: C:\Windows\System32
For Windows 64 Bit: C:\Windows\SysWOW64
- Let's move on to the command line, which must be launched with administrator privileges. Using the operator
cd
, go to the folder where you previously placed the DLL. Throughregsvr32 x3daudio1_7.dll
We register and close the window.
- After the operating system is rebooted, we again try to open the game that previously gave the error.
Checking the architecture of Microsoft Windows is very simple if you simultaneously press “Win” + “Pause” on the keyboard.
