No audio on many steam games!

I recently built my PC, and began playing some Steam games, but however have found that many, not all, of my games don't have audio. I have read around that it is necessary to reinstall DirectX, but every time I do so, I receive the following error:

"An internal system error occurred
Please refer to DXError.log and DirectX.log in your Windows folder to determine problem."

I have spent many days trying to resolve this problem, and it would be much appreciated if someone could help me finally get everything working.

Thank you in advance!

(Also, if for whatever reason it matters, I am using the Sentey Arches GS-4730 headphones for audio.)

Which do you recommend I install? I've installed the Realtek HD audio ones from the MSI website (my motherboard is an MSI Z170 Gaming M7), but no others that I can think of.

During the verification phase of the scan, it reached 38% and stopped.
It printed out this message afterward: "Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation."

I think I agree. I'm gonna wait a bit more and see if I can get it to work, and if not I'll probably go to Altex as a last resort. Afterwards, if they can't fix it I will just reformat it.
