Cannot Open OpenAL error??

[jimmio1992]

Sadly, I can't hear any sounds whatsoever out of this wonderful game. I use SuSe Linux 10.1, and, no luck. Any suggestions? Thanks.

You need to install the openal package from your linux distribution.

So, pop in the correct Disc?

Sorry, what do you mean?

As far as I know it doesn't come with the install cds (at least not in suse 9.1). Unzip this file and put it in /usr/lib (as root)

Surak: Si le entendí pregunta si con meter el disco correcto se arregla.

How to fix the sound on Linux (at least in Ubuntu):

Method #1 (Seldon_SL way):

Open a console and type gedit.
Add the following to the file:

# Contains user settings for OpenAL
# Goes in ~/.openalrc

# Use ALSA (valid: sdl, native, alsa)
(define devices '(native))

Save it as .openalrc on your home directory.

Method #2 (amuchamu way)

Download the file: link to the file. (http://www.regnumonline.com.ar/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=590&d=1162658616)
Unzip the file to your home directory.

Open a console and type sudo cp /home/yourhomedirectory/libopenal.so /usr/lib/libopenal.so.

Maybe you should restart your computer for the changes to take effect.
