Sounds like it may be using the Generic Software device. What device is opened? Calling alcGetString with ALC_DEVICE_SPECIFIER on the opened device handle should say. Also, are you using 32-bit or 64-bit Java? IIRC, the hardware OpenAL drivers only work on 32-bit, and 64-bit will only work through DSound/WinMM. In that case, you could use my OpenAL Soft to get surround sound mixing. Unfortunately I haven't built a 64-bit DLL yet, so you or someone else would need to build it. There is an automated build here: https://www.newdawnsoftware.com/hudson/view/OpenAL/job/OpenAL-win64/ however this is not done by me, and seems to be built with MinSizeRel instead of a fully-optimized Release build. Still, if you have 64-bit, it may be good enough. _______________________________________________ Openal mailing list [email protected] http://opensource.creative.com/mailman/listinfo/openal
