SOUNDMANAGER: Playing DropTeam.ogg as ..\data/sound\DropTeam.ogg

Just installed the game and I get a windows error message as soon as the game loads then I have to end the process in task manager.

If the log file is anything to go by it would appear it's having a problem with that particular .ogg sound file, so I tried getting the necessary codecs for it, deleting it, creating a blank file with that name, all to no avail so I'm stuck.

I saw a fix further down the page on these forums that it may be due to me having a widescreen monitor also, but I couldn't find the DropTeamSettings.dat file anywhere on my system to modify the settings so I wasn't able to try it unfortunately.

Ok I've definitely narrowed it down to being a soundcard/codec issue, I tried disabling my soundcard and the game worked fine, without sound of course though.

I have a SoundBlaster Live and I installed the latest drivers for that but the card is fairly old and they've stopped updating the drivers for a few years. I also tried downloading a couple of .ogg codecs but nothing also. So yeah, stumped again, I can play without sound but I'd rather get it sorted before I do. I'm pretty sure if I could find a way to bypass it loading that single .ogg file the game would work perfectly.

Any ideas?

Disabling sound in DropTeamSettings.dat lets me play the game without disabling the soundcard in the DeviceManager which is something. In the options screen ingame it's registering no sound driver at all, is my card even compatible with the game?

Yes, it's a very old OpenAL driver for your soundcard. This part of your log file shows the problem:

Alright, I tried that just now except only

OpenAL32.dll

wrap_oal.dll

were present in my System32 Directory.

When I ran Dropteam after moving them it crashed again but this time it just pretty much flashed up for a fraction of a second rather than hanging on the splash screen and giving me a windows error.

I also uninstalled OpenAL because I really have no clue why it was even installed in the first place, and that didn't help. I then installed the most recent version from the OpenAL website and that didn't help either, same hang + windows error.

Log WITHOUT openAL dll's present

Alright I got it working, I think it's because I rebooted after uninstalling OpenAL but I'm not sure because at the same time I decided to download the Creative Soundblaster Audigy Drivers. Silly thing is I've had this card for a long time and I'm not 100% sure it actually is a Live so I tried installing the Audigy drivers and as the update finished my computer just rebooted itself, heh. Anyway, booted up, ran the game, sound works perfectly.

I love it when that happens.

Thanks a lot for the help.
