I was on Minetest.net when I saw that they had a new version. So I deleted Minetest 0.4.4 and downloaded the new version. But now, there is no sound. I already tries downloading OpenAl, but it still doesn't work. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? I put the OpenAl folder in the minetest-0.4.5 -> mods folder AND in the minetest-0.4.5 -> mods -> minetest folder.

Thanks...

IIRC you have to install openal on windows. Just run the .exe in the folder.

Nope.

I've updated the package, please, redownload it.

Nope.

If not, the FAQ should probably be fixed. I wouldn't be too dismissive though. Installing OpenAL DID restore sound on 0.4.5 for the only Windows box I had it installed on. Didn't need to install OpenAL for 0.4.4, but definitely had to for 0.4.5. If you're not supposed to install OpenAL, maybe it's a bug in how the game looks for the OpenAL library?

I packaged the 0.4.5 release wrong, it was missing wrap_oal.dll file. Now everything should work out of the box, no need to install OpenAL manually.

Ah! I see. Well in that case, thank you!
