Visual Studio C++ project starting error message -- "DirectX-End-User Runtime" not installed?

Capture.PNGI use Visual Studio 2019 C++ and with AGK (App Game Kit) and start with one of the VC/AGK template project provided by AGK. I made an project, it has music and gui, everything seems working fine, except that when I try to run the system displayed an error message: "Faied to creat Xaudio, make sure you have the "DirectX End-User Runtime" installed ".

To me it seems to be complaining about playing audio, but after I acknowledge "OK", the music played perfectly. Could any expert explain what's going on? Though it works for now, I don't want to live with this error message or settle for less. See the attached screen snapshot.

Thanks

Installation is the act of making a computer program program ready for execution. Because the process varies programs often come with a specialized program responsible for doing whatever is needed for their installation. Installation may be part of a larger software deployment process. Cross platform installer builders that produce installers for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux include InstallAnywhere, InstallBuilder and Install4J. Installers for Microsoft Windows include Windows Installer, InstallShield, and Wise Installation Studio; free installer-authoring tools include NSIS, IzPack, Clickteam, InnoSetup, InstallSimple and WiX. Mac OS X includes Installer, and also includes a separate software updating application.
