I have it installed C:\GOG Games\The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt\bin\x64\dsound.dll

It's also in certain GTA 5 mods too.

dsound.dll is a generic Windows file found in the Windows/System32 folder and is a part of Microsoft Direct Sound Library. It is required by Direct X and any operating system or game that uses Direct X. There may be many, many mods that include dsound.dll if that mod has custom sounds. I know this because I had my dsound.dll deleted some time ago and needed it for a game created under the Win 95/98 platform.

The issue now, as I see it, is: has any mod had dsound.dll added to it when it doesn't need it, or had dsound.dll changed? Hopefully your HPE Security Research can cross-reference the hacked in dsound.dll with a proper Microsoft one and find out why they put it there. Edited by anubispriest

We should just usurp Kim Jong-Un's title of Supreme Planetary Potentate and apply it to Dark0ne. Then he can land a human on the Sun like they did.
