You may need to re-configure Windows Default Audio Format if you see an error like the following:

C:\splishsplash>splish.exe 192.168.0.191
Unsupported wave format: 32 bits per sample, 2 channels, 48000 samples / sec.
Failed to initialize audio capturing: -2147467259

Here are the steps:

  1. Open the Sound Control Panel (e.g. Start -> Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Sound)
    Sound Control Panel
  2. Click on the default playback device (if there's more than one, there should be one that says "Default Device") and click the Properties button.
  3. Click the "Advanced" tab
    Speakers Advanced Properties
  4. Change the Default Format to "16 bit, 44100 Hz (CD Quality)" or "24 bit, 44100 Hz (Studio Quality)". The important thing is that it's 44100Hz.
  5. Click OK.

Now try using Splish Splash again. You may need to repeat this process on both the source and destination PC's.
