Go to "Control Panel", look for "Sound". At my PC, it says "Speakers", and below that it says "Realtek High Definition Audio". What does it say at yours?(08-22-2012, 01:23 PM)Nemet Robert Wrote:(08-22-2012, 01:20 PM)cropcop23 Wrote:This file is the OpenAL installer.

RE: Fatal error: No sound devices available!!! - Robby - 08-22-2012 Ok, head to this site. http://www.realtek.com/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=14&PFid=24&Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false There is a line that is like "64bits Vista, Windows7, Windows8 Driver only (Executable file)". Select a mirror like "US1" from there. Wait for the download to finish. Be aware that it might take some time for that. RE: Fatal error: No sound devices available!!! - cropcop23 - 08-22-2012 Ok, in progress; looks like it'll be about an hour. I'll let you know as soon as it's installed. Thanks (08-22-2012, 01:40 PM)Nemet Robert Wrote: Ok, head to this site.

If this doesn't work, I'll leave this to the devs. But I'll still be here, watching until you update this.(08-22-2012, 01:40 PM)Nemet Robert Wrote: Ok, head to this site. EDIT: Don't forget to report on the situation. Once a thread is started, it needs to end. EDIT after a day: I'm guessing the problem is solved. |
