Do not download this DLL on its own
Searching for a missing DLL by name leads to sites that hand you that single file. It is one of the oldest and most effective malware delivery methods there is, and a system DLL from an unknown source is indistinguishable from a deliberately modified one. There is never a legitimate reason to obtain a runtime component that way.

Where you see it: Games with 3D positional sound from the DirectX 9 and 10 era.
