No Audio/Sound
by tODD k. · in Torque Game Engine · 12/29/2005 (5:21 pm) · 6 replies
Hiya, I'm a beginner here and just started on torque a few days ago. I managed to get 1.4 compiled in visual c++ 2005 express and running the fps starter mission. However, I'm not getting any audio/sound. I installed "OpenAL 1.1 Core PC SDK.exe" and my audio runs fine in other apps. I also tested Marble Blast and the audio is working. I searched and found some similiar topics but no solutions posted. Any ideas? Thanks!!

Thanks for the info, Ben. Unfortunately I can't track down a 1.0 installer for Windows. I think I'll just hold out until the rewrite since audio is the least of my Torque worries right now ;)

I just reformatted and reinstall XP..and I had audio in torque! This is without installing openAL. Yay.
Now I don't. I'm not sure what has changed on my system. I installed openAL 1.1 (since I still can't find 1.0 ) but that hasn't helped. Now that I've had a taste of audio I NEED MORE! ;)

Try changing the OpenAL32.dll in the example folder. Pinch it from an older version of Torque or another program that uses it. Works for me.

Can you email/post your working OpenAL32.dll just in case?

It happened to me again! Last night audio is working but today it's not. So I'm guessing it's not anything to do with Torque? I'm currently messing around with my audio driver ("PCI Audio Driver"). I'm using SOYO's P4x400 hardware audio (www.soyousa.com/products/proddesc.php?id=187).Can you email/post your working OpenAL32.dll just in case?

If you search the forums there are also some recent fixes that have come up. We're also working on a complete rewrite of the audio layer, which ought to be coming fairly soon.
