could you find out what type of audio card it is? maybe its unsupported by your system or even the game, hence the emulation

Sorry about the link, I just fixed it.

And as for OpenAL not recognizing your card properly, I found there are more people with this kind of problem. Let's just try with OpenAL-soft for starters, see if it works. If not, we'll see what we can work out.

Download the installer again, make sure you get the right version for your operating system.

I have the same problem and I can't find a solution for it.

The game gives the error 'FATAL ERROR: Failed! Check your OpenAL installation'.

I don't have a game settings file in the amnesia folder in my documents, only the log file.

I installed the openal sdk mentioned in this thread and tried the examples, and they worked.

I'm running a windows vista 64-bit, my speakers are connected through the SPDIF interface, but the problem persists even if i connect my headphones and change the default output device to the normal 'speakers' interface through the windows playback devices dialog.

Any help?

Hmm I found a way to bypass the issue. If I play something at the same time as I launch amnesia, amnesia will start without an error, ie. if i have winamp playing some song or i'm watching a video that has sound i can play the game.

Hey there i found the answer to your problem, you need to connect a sound device, earphones, speakers just so that the game can detect an audio preference . just plug any old earphones in and you will be good to go (y)
