Re: Problem running 7.1 headsets with OpenAL-Soft

 
Hi Chris,
 
I'm not ultra familiar with running lwjgl, so I'm not sure if this
is anything important or just my misuse.  But I could not run the latest build
simply by replacing the 1.14 OpenAL-Soft 32bit windows OpenAL32.dll.
 
Java actually crashed trying to run the native lib  (build 1251): 
 
#
# A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:
#
#  EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) at pc=0x03acbf58, pid=1056, tid=3164

[error occurred during error reporting , id 0xc0000005]
Java Result: -1

I seem to get the Java crash from builds 1238 - 1251 (latest I tried.)
 
1237 throws an Exception from lwjgl:
 
Exception in thread "Thread-3" org.lwjgl.openal.OpenALException: OpenAL error: Invalid Name (40961)
 at org.lwjgl.openal.Util.checkALError(Util.java:64)
 at org.lwjgl.openal.AL10.alBufferData(AL10.java:1144)
 
1230 - 1236: simply has no sound.
 
1229 and earlier:  Works!!!
 
Don't know if that helps any, but thanks, I have a library I
can use, so that's great.
 
Let me know if you want me to test any other builds.
 
Scott

Possibly soon. I didn't intend for 1.15 to take too long because of a bad bug that snuck into the OSS backend for 1.14, but I ended up doing more than I expected and it needs some good testing.

If you just need a replacement DLL, you can grab one from here:
http://www.newdawnsoftware.com/jenkins/view/OpenAL/

Select the win32 or win64 build depending if Java's running as x86 or x64, and it gives links for the installed files from the last successful build.

Just be aware it hasn't be thoroughly tested, and the Windows builds there are optimized for size instead of performance. I've also not directly used them myself, but I see no reason why they wouldn't work.
