Error code upon playback

Every time I try to play a song I get "Unrecoverable playback error: Unknown error code (0x88890017)". Any advice?

Using Win 7 x64, foobar 2000 version 1.1.5.

According to shakey_snake, in the topic that appears when you paste “0x88890017” into the Google search box, “It's just a standard directSound error. A look in the console would probably give you better feedback.” Does the console say anything more substantive?

I am not sure how, but the problem seems to be gone. Foobar plays like it should. Thanks for your help anyways!

I've encountered with this problem too, but after restarting computer, it would be okay.
