Contrary to popular belief, we are not all-knowing-all-seeing magical beings!

If you want help you're going to have to provide lots of info. Like what is your hardware, what is your operating system, what version of GZDoom/LZDoom/whatever you're using, what mods you're loading, how you're loading it, what you've already tried for fixing the problem, and anything else that is even remotely relevant to the problem.

We can't magically figure out what it is if you're going to be vague, and if we feel like you're just wasting our time with guessing games we will act like that's what you're really doing and won't help you.

Post by ddmeltzer8 »

Hi.
I'm trying to play Brutal Doom black edition but theres no sound.
If I click "restart sound" in "sound options" I get a message "you are using an unsupported openal implementation"
I dl the latest openal and ran it but I still get the same problem.
I would appreciate all help I could get!Let me know if theres any more info I can post.

Thanks in advance.

You should only use the OpenAL Soft version that is included with the GZDoom download. The official version that is still available is very old and unsupported. GZDoom requires OpenAL Soft.

What happens if you reinstall GZDoom to a new directory - EXE, DLL files, and everything, with no INI files at all - and run the mod from that one?
