is that using direct play? if so both it and direct sound are deprecated. You will need to find an older sdk to get direct sound running, which may have come with the book. same with dplay. I do know you need to watch #include directive order to make sure that certain includes and defines happen before others. other than that, we need more info.
I think he's got hold of this book: http://www.amazon.com/Programming-Playing-DirectX-Premier-Development/dp/1931841098/ref=asap_bc?ie=UTF8
It comes with a CD that has example projects sources and DirectX 8, but it was not clear whether that meant the SDK or just the runtime. I quickly checked the sample pages, and they recommend, guess what, Visual C++ 6.0 (or newer...)
