No audio on Win7/0.6.6?

[Beo]

I'm just starting out with GemRB. Everything seems to work properly (game starts, can create character), but it simply won't play sound. Here is my config file:

GameType=bg2
GameName=Baldur's Gate 2
AudioDriver=openal
Width=1024
Height=768
Bpp=32
Fullscreen=0
TooltipDelay=500
GUIEnhancements = 1
GamePath=E:\games\bg2
CD1=E:\games\bg2
CD2=E:\games\bg2\cd2
CD3=E:\games\bg2\cd3
CD4=E:\games\bg2\cd4
CD5=E:\games\bg2\cd5
CachePath=Cache
GemRBPath=.
PluginsPath=plugins
GUIEnhancements = 1
SkipIntroVideos=1

 

As you can see, I've specified "openal". However, no sound is played. (Similarly, sdlaudio doesn't work) I noticed that it loads the null sound driver: [PluginMgr]: Loading: plugins\NullSound.dll... Null Sound Driver... [OK]

 

However, disabling this sound driver with "SkipPlugin=NullSound.dll", ends up hitting this error: [Core]: Starting up the Sound Driver...[ERROR]

 

I assume that's because there's simply no other "sound" plugin in the plugins folder. Was there another dependency or file I'm missing? There doesn't seem to be an OpenAL/SDL sound plugin in the plugins folder? (I see the SDL/OpenAL dlls in the gemrb folder.)

 

For reference, here is the full output of running gemrb: http://pastebin.com/LcsJcbF8

 

Is there any other logging or diagnostics which would help me troubleshoot the lack of audio?

 

Edit: One last note, I installed OpenAL as specified on the site from here: http://connect.creativelabs.com/openal/Downloads/Forms/AllItems.aspx It completed without error.

did you install openal prior to building?

 

look at the cmake output when building not gemrbs output. if there is no openal plugin its clear that it didnt get built.

 

there was a thread on this exact issue just before the forums went down. I'm sure you can look there for more specific help.

Interesting. I installed the binaries from here (didn't compile myself):

http://sourceforge.net/projects/gemrb/files/GemRB%20Win32%20Binaries/GemRB%20v0.6.6/GemRB-win32-v0.6.6.zip/download

 

You are right, the 0.6.6 binaries release for windows is missing OpenALAudio.dll. Rolling back to 0.6.5 works perfectly, audio plays correctly.

 

Can someone update the windows binaries for 0.6.6 to include OpenALAudio.dll? That would fix the missing plugin problem...

you should be able to use the openal plugin from last version i would think.
