Chuck DirectSound error fix

I'm learning dsp and following a tutorial that uses chuck, I install it, try it, and it falls over instantly with this error:

[chuck]: (DirectSound) error (Generic error) creating input buffer (Default Device)!



Solution:

1. Go to Start → Settings → Privacy Settings → Microphone
2. Turn on "Allow apps to access your microphone"

Now you'll never see this error again!

Microphone settings window shows "Allow apps to access your microphone" turned on.
