audio stopped working, need help

by Ashwin · in iTorque 2D · 04/28/2009 (10:33 pm) · 5 replies

Hello guys and girls,

I've got a problem with my project. I was just changing some sprites in iTGB and when I ran the game the audio didn't work anymore. This is weird because I didn't touch the script at all.

This message is showing up in the console log:

OpenAL Driver Init:
Failed to initialize audio system. Invalid driver.

Does anybody know how to fix this??

yours truly

Must be something with your operating system then

Audio is working fine on my mac. If I start a new project in iTGB the audio works,but when I open the project with my game the audio is still broken so maybe there is something wrong with the project.

But I don't know what, since I didn't change anything in the scripts.

I fixed it but it is a weird fix

i changed in gamescripts/audio.cs from:
if($pref::Audio::driver $= "OpenAL")

into

if($pref::Audio::driver !$= "OpenAL")

this is wierd cause in the defaultPrefs.cs
the variable is "OpenAL"
$pref::Audio::driver = "OpenAL";

is this a Bug or am I doing something wrong?

Seems the preference is being overwritten somehow and the value of $pref::Audio::driver = ""; By removing the if statement we can get it to load up OpenAL. The REAL question is: what's happening the value of the prefs and are all the other values ok?
