theonlysnowflake Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Help! My game won't launch. Whenever I launch it, a pop-up window appears and says "Failed to initialize sound device. Is OpenAL installed?" I've narrowed it down to two things. 1, OpenAL is installed and won't load the game, or B, OpenAL isn't installed. if option A, what do I do, and if option 2, what do I do BACKGROUND: I've been able to use this before (like a lot... more than I feel is good for me...). It never has had any problems. I've also downloaded games for leadwerks, where it makes me install OpenAL, and have installed OpenAL before. But I have a timeline and need to finish my game for a school competition and now am feeling super rushed. PLEASE HELP ME! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cassius Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 openAl seems to be installed automatically with Leadwerks. At least on windows machine it is.

macklebee Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 you can try installing it yourself - the installer is located here (assuming youre using windows): C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Leadwerks Game Engine\_CommonRedist\OpenAL\2.0.7.0\oalinst.exe 1 Quote Win7 64bit / Intel i7-2600 CPU @ 3.9 GHz / 16 GB DDR3 / NVIDIA GeForce GTX 590 LE / 3DWS / BMX / Hexagon macklebee's channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slastraf Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Yeah I had the issue , too. The problem was that I did no had any device enabled, that plays audio from your pc. try to take a look at the hardware and sound (win7), or just put your headset in or speaker if not.
