Help with Sound Problems

[Rhys]

Hello everyone. I am here with some information with people with sound bugs, here are some of the reasons why people have no/crackly sound:

Old PC, No OpenAL Version Installed (or outdated), (please put more down below if there are more)

Usually Downloading OpenAL does the trick. I have provided a download link for OpenAL down below. It is virus free and I checked it before uploading it. :)

Hi,
Don't copy only the .dll, just install "OpenAL" (it's an opensource and free sounds library, Minetest use it. OpenAl is like OpenGL but for sounds)

http://www.openal.org and http://connect.creativelabs.com/ are offline...

i've create a direct link from my FTP (Pydio) => http://yourls.qbuissondebon.info/1g (don't be afraid for the warning, just click accept, my pydio is over SSL)

(the latest version of OpenAL is 2.1.0.0(february 2010) => https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenAL)

Okay :) , Minetestforfun I should download file from this link http://yourls.qbuissondebon.info/1g right? Sorry but I understand english so so..

step by step :

+ "show instructions"

(i have a french windows and a chrome navigator for the example)

1) left mouse click on the link => http://yourls.qbuissondebon.info/1g
2) accept the warning, it's normal

3) left mouse click "oalinst.exe" and after, left mouse click "Telecharger"
"
4) double left mouse click "oalinst.exe" => left mouse click "execute" in the window => click OK for agree the installation.

It's over ! :)
(I can't be more detailed)

From https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=2041&hilit=openal&start=400 (p17 and p18)

I think your OpenAL isn't the latest version

For windows users, just try the builds of :
Fess: viewtopic.php?f=42&t=6745
or
Sfan5: http://sfan5.pf-control.de/minetest-builds/?f

And, normally there is no problem with OpenAL

Ah thanks Minetestforfun, I just found that OpenAL version lying around on my computer (I have a load of crappy fiels on my pc). And no problem Esteban. :)
