--- Comment #20 from John P Sims jsims2359@gmail.com 2009-10-03 23:35:26 --- Providing a longer trace is a bit difficult since I'm using Steam. The Steam client generates tons of noise, but I'll see what I can do.
Thanks for the detailed response.
What I was getting at earlier was that using "Generic Software" settings allows games to function without sound ala Michael B. Whereas, using the "Generic Hardware" is working for some, such as Michael B, and for me, when using OpenAL 1.4 causes crescendos of feedback and using 1.8 or 1.9 hangs UE games.
Shouldn't Generic Software settings "just work" like it did before?
My apologies if I sound as though I'm beating a dead horse.
