No Problem with SoX v14.4.1.

    The OP seems to still be active here on SF, so:
    what command are you actually runnning? (make sure to add -V)
    Are you still seeing the error on your WinXP box?

    the OP may not be back to reply, and I may be here a year and a half later, but anyhow...

    I've had the exact same problem with SoX 14.4.2 since it came out, so i went back to using SoX 14.4.1 which didn't exhibit this problem.

    the command i used:

    sox.exe mysound.wav -d vol 0.50
    

    and the error:

    sox.exe FAIL sox: Sorry, there is no default audio device configured

    It may work if you

    set AUDIODRIVER=waveaudio
    

    before launching SoX.

    As to why this stopped working between 14.4.1 and 14.4.2,
