I've just downloaded the newest version of Running with Rifles, and when I start it up and begin to play, there's no sound at all. I went back and played the earlier 0.3 version and the sound works on it. Any help? I can provide more information if necessary. |

I've reinstalled it twice and restarted my computer to no avail. |

This must mean that there's a problem with the installer with OpenAL installation. EDIT: Did you try installing the game with an administrator user account or something else? I would expect admin rights to be required to install the VC++ runtime and OpenAL. I'll look into it, but meanwhile you can try installing OpenAL manually, download and unzip this http://connect.creativelabs.com/openal/ ... alinst.zip, and run the file that pops out. |

I'm also having problems with complete lack of sound(albeit in 0.4). I've installed OpenAL both through the official installer and the game installer. I have also tried installing them both as Administrator. What interests me the most, though, is that my old version of pre-alpha 0.1 used to work just fine with the sound, but after I installed the new version it somehow broke it. (And yes, my sound is turned up and my headphones plugged in. )

(And yes, my sound is turned up and my headphones plugged in. )Which Windows version do you have? One thing to check would be config.xml that it contains <audiodevice value="0" /> rather than <audiodevice value="-1" />. You can find the config.xml in Windows 7 and Vista by accessing "C:\ProgramData\Running with rifles". In Windows XP, it's usually something like "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Running with rifles" or "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Running with rifles". It does seem like a problem with OpenAL installation somehow, but you pretty much tried everything I can think of right now. While hardly a fix, you could possibly try to workaround the problem by doing it as it was in pre-alpha 0.1, so you'd basically copy OpenAL32.dll and wrap_oal.dll to the installation folder of Running with rifles, e.g. "C:\Program Files (x86)\Running with rifles". You should be able to find these two .dll files from C:\Windows\System32. |

Aw, sadly none of those suggestions worked. I redownloaded 0.1 though and the sound worked on that version again. Certainly a bit interesting. On an unrelated note, I've noticed going into windowed mode tends to make the game a bit more crash-happy. Dunno if you've fixed that in the newer versions though. (Also I'm using Windows Vista Home Premium, 64-bit.) |

(Also I'm using Windows Vista Home Premium, 64-bit.) Sad indeed. There hasn't been significant changes that would affect the audio side since 0.1, other than where config.xml is located and how the dll's are installed. Curiously, it does seem that beta 0.4 on your system can locate OpenAL dll's just fine, otherwise it would abort the game launch early I'm pretty sure. If the config.xml doesn't have a field for audiodevice or it is zero, it is possible that the audio is just skipped -- again, it appears that the config.xml is correctly located on your system as you can switch between windowed / fullscreen mode, and you already checked that the audiodevice is indeed 1. I can perhaps give you an experimental build of the game to try out, I'll add some traces in the log to see how far the audio playback goes or if it fails somewhere unexpectedly. Let me know if you want to try it out. |

Alright, sure. Do you want me to send you a PM if it finds anything? |

You can paste the log here or just send the whole log file to me, it's all fine. See your private messages, I've made the build available. |
