[SOLVED] OpenAL initialization failure in Win7 10.10rc1

[Keith Smith]

Not hearing any of the custom sounds (such as the announciators when the master is first switched on).

Here's the log, not the OpenAL NULL initialization error.

That's no error to be concerned of, Keith. The initial load up master caution sound is temporarily disabled on Windows for OAL conflict reasons between plugins. It will be implemented again at a later date.

I believe it is two sounds in total disabled for the moment. You are hearing engine sounds, etc at the very least, correct?

[Keith Smith]

Yep, engine is fine. I just noticed the abscence of the aural alarms when I fired it up compared to the experience on the Mac the night before, so it was fresh in my mind. I wondered how many other sounds I was missing, but if that's it...no biggie.
