Sound broken in 2.8.1 on Windows
« on: October 26, 2011, 10:51:21 »
Flood of complaints coming in when I accidentally included the OpenALSoft dll from 2.8.1 with the latest release of Titan Attacks. Sound garbled or scratchy or only coming through headphones and other crazy shit. I don't really know why or how. I simply switched back to the dll used in 2.7.1 and all is well once more.

Did anything significant change in OpenALSoft between 2.7.1 and 2.8.1?

Cas :)

Not much, only more than 600 changes :o since the 2.7.1 release(10th Feb 2011)! source.

You could try the latest nightly build of OpenALSoft, maybe some of the changes since the 2.8.1 release have already fixed the issues.

I haven't heard any issues.
Do you know anything about the users? - OS, sound card etc etc.

One of the major changes was a backend specifically for vista/windows 7 - could be buggy.

But need more information.
