OpenAL Generic Fixer 1.0 released!
Sunday, 29. June 2008, 14:01:58
I've made this tool to solve some of OpenAL issues. OpenAL is an open audio subsystem that has replaced old DirectSound (starting with Windows Vista). Most of new games use it to utilize hardware accelerated sound and special effects like EAX Advanced HD.
But when things go wrong, it's usually because of either very old OpenAL libraries, corrupted OpenAL files or something similar. This tool deletes old files, automatically downloads latest OpenAL installer and executes it. It should be easy enough for anyone to at least try to solve sound related problems without extensive help from tech support or the geeks around
Oh and don't forget to update your audio drivers if you haven't already!
Situations where this tool might help:
- no sound in games
- sound is skipping or has bad delay
- cannot enable Hardware Acceleration in games
- cannot enable EAX audio effects
- when games crash with error "OpenAL32.dll cannot be found" or something similar

I've repacked the files into ZIP archive and now it's working.
Thanks again!

A well coded and informative tool that I'm sure to use plenty. Thanks for taking the time to help the Creative Labs charity appeal.
