openAL32.dll + Audigy2 under Win32

by Robin Princeley · in Torque Game Engine · 01/04/2003 (8:18 pm) · 4 replies

Torque does not work with the default openal32.dll supplied by Creative Labs (version - 5.12.1.282 installed along with drivers for Audigy2). No errors are reported and it shows the driver details, etc. but there is no sound.

I had to use openal32.dll (version - 0.9.8.0) taken from the OpenAL SDK 1.0 to get sound working.

I can confirm that bug.

I'm going to look into a solution later on today.

It works fine on an Audigy 1 with the included 5.12.1.244 openal32.dll.

Yeah, 5.12.1.244 and 0.9.8.0 seem to work correctly.

Since the file is only 132kb, and I'm sure the good people at creative want us Audigy 2 users to keep our .dll, a temporary fix is to go ahead and put 5.12.1.244 in the directory along with glu2d3d and opengl2d3d.

Anyway... go ahead and submit this as a bug. Maybe it will get more attention there.
