That error means the game was not able to find your sound card. Do you have a sound card installed?

What system are you on, Windows, mac or Linux?

I don't have a separate sound card, it's on the asrock motherboard, it's Realtek high def audio drivers.

OK, I have checked the code and it uses DirectX to open the sound card. I suggest you use DXDiag or whatever the equivalent is for windows 10, to check your direct sound drivers.
