Title: (nearly) no sound with FSO 3.6.9 RC3 and FSPort 3.03 -solved
Post by: nighthawk on July 18, 2006, 04:53:57 pm
Hello,

i just did update from FSO 3.6.7 / Launcher 5.3 to FSO 3.6.9 RC3 /Launcher 5.3.
With 3.6.7 I had all available sounds, speech and music during gameplay. I changed to FSO 3.6.9 RC3 due to the bug that caused mission SM2-06A.FS2 to crash (see http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,40698.0.html). With FSO 3.6.9 RC3 I do not have any sounds nor music on the main Freespace screen. During mission briefing and weapon/ship selection even speech is missing. During flight the only sound I have got are the soundeffects from canon fires of larger ships (freighters, warships). Nothing else. No speech, no ship sounds, no explosions...
I use "direct sound" as sound option.
This is my launcher.ini

active_mod = fs1port;

Besides, FSO 3.6.9RC5 or Launcher 5.4 causes an Acces Violation on my system immedialty after starting.

Do you have OpenAL 1.1 installed?

Thank You!
That did it.

If someone is looking for the file, here it goes:

You're welcome.  Though, the Launcher is actually supposed to notify you if you need to install OpenAL 1.1, not have an access violation.  I'll have to take a look at that.  :)

With FSO 3.6.9RC5 or Launcher 5.4 and OpenAL installed no more access violations do happen when starting.
