Hi Uray,

If you have installed the newest OpenAL driver, there should be a 32-bit and a 64-bit version
in the windows directory, OpenAL32.dll (the 32-bit version is in \WINDOWS\SysWow64; the 64-bit is in \WINDOWS\system32)

SysWow64 - the 32 bit emulation layer

Please check this using windows's search function (don't use commanders like Total Commander, it treats SysWow64 and System32 equal)

Then check for ct_oal.dll (you will find only one copy in the \WINDOWS\system32 which is the 32-bit version)

The only thing you have to do is to copy the 32-bit ct_oal.dll from the driver (PAX or Creative)
eg. pax\Drivers\wdm\common\i386\ct_oal.dll  to the \WINDOW\SysWow64 directory

then copy the 64-bit ct_oal.dll 
eg. pax\Drivers\wdm\common\amd64\ct_oal.dll  to the \WINDOW\system32 directory

(don't use commanders like TC)
(the PAX driver is only a tweaked version of the Creative driver)


Now run ALCapsViewer32 and ALCapsViewer64, and everything should be ok

Please note: I have a Windows XP 64-bit edition not Win7, but this should work on Win7 too



Regards, Akos

hi, I have problem to enumerate and using X-FI device on Win7 64-bit.

my software is running fine, but with 7.1 configuration, openAL only play on stereo speaker,
and there is only generic software device available if I enumerate it using 
ALC_ENUMERATE_EXT and ALC_ENUMERATE_ALL_EXT. I tried every creative and PAX driver but couldn't
make it enable the hardware device

I tried to using ALCapviewer, it will show only generic software, but if I try to use 32-bit
version of ALCapviewer, it show correct hardware implementation of X-FI

what is wrong? is there no 64-bit openAL driver available for X-FI ?
