you want to do that EVEN with the ones in Windows and system32 folders.

[Nico]

I did all that half a dozen times. I've given up.

You have the latest drivers for your sound card?

[Nico]

yes, I even reinstalled them just in case, no luck.

[jr2]

K, just in case, can you post your FS2 directory listing?
Can you post your directory listing?  Start->Run, type

Code: [Select]

cmd press enter
type

Code: [Select]

dir "c:\games\freespace2" /s>"%homepath%\my documents\fs2dir.txt"(replace c:\games\freespace2 with your fs2 dir drive / path as neccessary)
Then, post it, hit "Additional Options", hit "Browse", find your fs2dir.txt file in your My Documents folder, then post it - if you don't see "Additional Options", then hit the "Preview" button first, then it will show up.

K?

Sure thing, there you go, but I think you're wasting your time Anyway, thanks for willing to be helpful, I'm grateful

Mmh, all the characters with accents (like "é") are messed up, but there's nothing like that in the name files (or there should be), so it shouldn't be a problem.

Where did the OpenAL32.dll file in your main FS2 dir come from?  Mine (latest version) is 131,072 bytes, in windows\system32
Yours is 21,504 bytes... something wrong or out of date...

Open a command prompt, switch to your \windows\system32 directory
type

Code: [Select]

cd \windows\system32then type

Code: [Select]

dir openal32.dllSee what the size is.  If it's 131,072 bytes, then type

Code: [Select]

copy openal32.dll e:\jeux\freepace2 and overwrite the other one.

Does this help?

Run the debug build and post the FS2_Open.log that will appear in your Data folder.

He said he deleted all the openal files from his hard drive, so how could he possibly have the wrong size file unless he's not using the latest installer? Sounds fishy to me.

[jr2]

I dunno, but look at his directory listing.  It states he has openal32.dll in the FS main dir.. and it's size is different from the latest version.  He also has another open al .dll in there, wrap_oal.dll (but that one is the correct size).

Yeah, that OpenAL32.dll looks like a 1.0 version (and a pretty old one at that).  The wrap_oal.dll, which does most of the work if you don't have full/native OpenAL support in your sound drivers, looks good.  But even if the wrap_oal.dll is the 1.1 version, the version check is only going to report what version the OpenAL32.dll is, which most likely means 1.0.

It works! I've desinstaled everything (and I mean everything) sdound related on my computer, then I manually deleted all the registry entries, rebooted, did a second registry cleaning ( there was a couple things that refused to be deleted for somereason on the first wipe), reinstalled everything, and now it works ^^ thanks for your support people
