SoundEffect.Initialize Method (Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Audio)

Initializes the sound system for SoundEffect support. This method is automatically called when a SoundEffect is loaded, a DynamicSoundEffectInstance is created, or Microphone.All is queried. You can however call this method manually (preferably in, or before the Game constructor) to catch any Exception that may occur during the sound system initialization (and act accordingly).
