Status of SFX Providers in 1.7.1 ?

by Kenneth Eves · in Torque Game Engine Advanced · 02/09/2010 (6:34 pm) · 2 replies

From what I've been reading, there are three providers working in 1.7.1's SFX system... FMOD, DSound, and OpenAL. The only one I've had any luck getting running was FMOD.

Is there something I should be doing to enable the other two? I'm guessing I'm missing DLLs.

Thanks,

Ken

DirectSound should always work on Windows given that the proper DX runtime is installed, but for OpenAL you need to download the OAL installer from Creative (not quite sure, if 1.7.1 came with an OAL DLL).

Thanks! I didn't even think of Creative.
