Bioshock starts up now. UT3 hangs when launching if set to "Hardware OpenAL", otherwise no sound. Frontlines: Fuel of War behaves exactly as UT3. Mass Effect hangs on startup as well.
Cheese and crackers! This is driving me up the wall. I finally get the libopenal dependency resolved, now this. I know that my openal build is working. I tested it with mplayer. Sound's fine.
Chris, this probably isn't the forum for this, but just a heads up - you MUST explicitly set alsa in the drivers section of /etc/openal/alsoft.conf or a system may default to OSS first.
Are there going to be many more of these new external dependencies introduced anytime soon. I need time to regrow my hair, so I can tear it all out again. ;-)
