[Solved]ERROR-Unable to open audio devic

Hi
I am getting following error when test the project in some machines even they have sound card.
09:30:10: OgreOggSoundManager::init() ERROR - Unable to open audio device

later on how to check whether the sound is properly initialized?
Because application throw exception above when it somehow failed to initialize sound

EDIT : And do I need to destribute OpenAl32.dll with the project?

Hi there,

Yes you do need to distribute the openl32.dll or point your user to the download for the distributable, as for the error I can only assume that openal or the soundcard drivers are not setup correctly on those machines, init only works off whatever the openal function calls return..

HTH

Recently I have found the solution for my own question
Instead of just destributing the openal32.dll along with the project, I have to setup OpenAL Installer for Windows http://connect.creativelabs.com/openal/Downloads/oalinst.zip in all machines. That was the solution. Am I right sticky?

To be honest I always run the oalinst.exe installer inside my application installers for completeness anyway.

There's obviously other files required then what I thought so your probably safer using the installer.
