OpenAL Soft Binary Distribution
|
|
|
|
These binaries are provided as a convenience. Users and developers may use it
|
|
so they can use OpenAL Soft without having to build it from source.
|
|
|
|
Note that it is still expected to install the OpenAL redistributable provided
|
|
by Creative Labs (at http://openal.org/), as that will provide the "router"
|
|
OpenAL32.dll that applications talk to, and may provide extra drivers for the
|
|
user's system. The DLLs provided here will simply add additional devices for
|
|
applications to select from. If you do not wish to use the redistributable,
|
|
then rename soft_oal.dll to OpenAL32.dll (note: even the 64-bit DLL should be
|
|
named OpenAL32.dll). Just be aware this will prevent other system-installed
|
|
OpenAL implementations from working.
|
|
|
|
To use the 32-bit DLL, copy it from the bin\Win32 folder to the folder that
|
|
the 32-bit OpenAL32.dll router is installed in.
|
|
For 32-bit Windows, the Win32 DLL will typically go into the system32 folder.
|
|
For 64-bit Windows, the Win32 DLL will typically go into the SysWOW64 folder.
|
|
|
|
To use the 64-bit DLL, copy it from the bin\Win64 folder to the folder that
|
|
the 64-bit OpenAL32.dll router is installed in.
|
|
For 64-bit Windows, this will typically be the system32 folder.
|
|
|
|
The included openal-info32.exe and openal-info64.exe programs can be used to
|
|
tell if the OpenAL Soft DLL is being detected. It should be run from a command
|
|
shell, as the program will exit as soon as it's done printing information.
|
|
|
|
A configuration GUI app is provided in the alsoft-config folder. It is a front-
|
|
end to editing %AppData%\alsoft.ini, which can be used to modify certain
|
|
behaviors for OpenAL Soft devices.
|
|
|
|
Have fun!
