; One way that games can use DirectSound is to ask Windows for a
; DirectSound interface by specifying its class ID (or "CLSID").
; In Windows 8 or later if an application asks for DirectSound's CLSID
; Windows will always return an interface to the
; official version of DirectSound from Microsoft
; (because the registry specifies the absolute path to the official version).
; By making the registry changes in this file
; only the "dsound.dll" filename (with no path) is used to find DirectSound.
; This tells Windows to first look for dsound.dll
; in the same directory that the application is running from,
; and only use the official Microsoft version if no local version is found.
