First of all, I take it that you are using the panda binaries and didn’t build your own panda. If you have problems building Panda with DX, let me know, that’s a whole other story.
You don’t need to install a DirectX SDK to build a Panda app that can use DX, because the DX support is already linked inside your panda distribution, you just need to install the runtime to run the app. Did you install the DX9 user runtime?

EDIT: krid, about the sound. I would like you to try something, I’d like to find out if this fixes your problem.
When I say “binary dir” I mean the dir where the panda dll’s are, typically c:\Panda3D-1.7.0\bin.
-
Go to your binary dir, and remove (make a copy somewhere) pandaopenal32.dll and pandawrap_oal.dll. Or to make sure they aren’t loaded from the path rename them to .dl_.
-
Next download the openalsoft binaries from here: kcat.strangesoft.net/openal-soft … 53-bin.zip
-
Extract the oal_soft.dll file and rename it to pandaopenal32.dll, put it in the binary dir.
Test sound now.
