My dad recently purchased a new-ish computer for me, and Ive encountered a problem not present in my old computer, as well as the other games I play.

 

I play call of duty 5:world at war, along with civilization 4:beyond the sword just fine, no issues, medium-max settings. However, I cannot play torchlight, a game that my system has far better requirements for, because of this error:

 

'Microsoft XAudio2:

CPU does not meet minimum requirement; Streaming SIMD Extensions support required.'

 

Now, this occurs at the 'first time startup' when it attempts to install directx. However, I already have directx 10, It says so while playing COD and civ. Basically, its failing to install something I already have, and I cant play the game(it crashes) due to this error:

(unsure if it helps what so ever)

 

Does anyone have a work around, or a solution?

Please help!

Have you tried uninstalling Direct X then reinstalling it?

You could also see if Torchlight have a website/forum/number to call for support.

Ill try to un install direct x tonight, thanks.

found the solution on facepunch, not a problem with the direct x, did not have updated BIOS. /topic.
