This may occur if the registered location of the default audio.asd file is incorrect, or the file is missing.

WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

This may also happen if you change the default ASD path at the following registry location:

Where filename is the full path and filename of the custom audio.asd that you have created. If this path is incorrect, you will receive the error mentioned in the Symptoms section of this article.
