Error while initializing FMOD - c++

Question

Im having a weird issue while initializing FMOD, FMOD enters in some kind of 'infinite loop' and the program stops. What i'm doing wrong?
This is the function:
FMOD::System *fmodsyst = 0;
FMOD::Sound *sound = 0;
FMOD::Channel *channel = 0;
FMOD_RESULT result = FMOD_OK;
unsigned int version = 0;
unsigned int soundlength = 0;
bool dspenabled = false;
void *extradriverdata = 0;
unsigned int recordpos = 0;
unsigned int recorddelta = 0;
unsigned int minrecorddelta = (unsigned int)-1;
unsigned int lastrecordpos = 0;
unsigned int samplesrecorded = 0;
unsigned int playpos = 0;
float smootheddelta = 0;
int recordrate = 0;
int recordchannels = 0;
unsigned int adjustedlatency = 0;
unsigned int driftthreshold = 0;
FMOD_CREATESOUNDEXINFO exinfo;
bool Basics::InitializeFMOD()
{
FMOD_RESULT result;
unsigned int version;
result = FMOD::System_Create(&fmodsyst);
FMOD_ERRCHECK(result);
result = fmodsyst->getVersion(&version);
FMOD_ERRCHECK(result);
if (version < FMOD_VERSION)
{
return false;
}
result = fmodsyst->init(100, FMOD_INIT_NORMAL, extradriverdata); //this is the line which crashes the .dll
FMOD_ERRCHECK(result);
result = fmodsyst->getRecordDriverInfo(0, NULL, NULL, 0, 0, &recordrate, 0, &recordchannels);
FMOD_ERRCHECK(result);
adjustedlatency = (recordrate * LATENCY_MS) / 1000;
driftthreshold = adjustedlatency / 2;
memset(&exinfo, 0, sizeof(FMOD_CREATESOUNDEXINFO));
exinfo.cbsize = sizeof(FMOD_CREATESOUNDEXINFO);
exinfo.numchannels = recordchannels;
exinfo.format = FMOD_SOUND_FORMAT_PCM16;
exinfo.defaultfrequency = recordrate;
exinfo.length = exinfo.defaultfrequency * sizeof(short)* exinfo.numchannels * 5; /* 5 second buffer, doesnt really matter how big this is, but not too small of course. */
result = fmodsyst->createSound(0, FMOD_LOOP_NORMAL | FMOD_OPENUSER, &exinfo, &sound);
FMOD_ERRCHECK(result);
result = fmodsyst->recordStart(0, sound, true);
FMOD_ERRCHECK(result);
result = sound->getLength(&soundlength, FMOD_TIMEUNIT_PCM);
FMOD_ERRCHECK(result);
return true;
}
Also the function FMOD_ERRCHECK doesnt say anything.

It might be that you want FMOD_STUDIO_INIT_NORMAL instead of FMOD_INIT_NORMAL because you are, in fact, initializing the Studio component and not the low level audio system (at least not via that pointer).
We may have different versions, as mine requires an extra parameter:
_pAudioSystem->initialize(32, FMOD_STUDIO_INIT_NORMAL, FMOD_INIT_NORMAL, nullptr);
