I dont get it. Perhaps it's because I have hardware rendering selected. Here's the myth log:

That's really odd about it not finding any D3D devices. Try it without 3D sound & if that fails, try software rendering.

Well what happened is that Myth switched to a different rendering resolution that was not supported by Direct3D. So when I switched it to OpenGL the problem did not resurface.

_how_ it switched, I don't know. But it did.
