Description

Hi,

The game launch and is playable, but there's no sound, here's the error I got after launching the game :

"Failed to create sound engine. SE or BGM may not play properly.
The issue might be resolved by installing "Direct X End User Runtime"
For more details, please check the "About DirectX, section in the Sword City manual."

Here's my current gist : https://gist.github.com/nicoco59/3e4c5b4f93d236ac6f1d3f68b5f47298
