[Openal] How to get v1.1 devices on my system?

[Daniel PEACOCK]

Hi Nic,

There is a bug in the OpenAL SDK source code that can result in the OpenAL
version number being reported incorrectly.  This will be fixed in the next
OpenAL SDK refresh (due early next week).  If you want to fix the problem
before then ...

In \Samples\Framework\Win32\aldlist.cpp change the
ALDeviceList::GetDeviceVersion method to the following: -

void ALDeviceList::GetDeviceVersion(int index, int *major, int *minor)
{
      if (index < GetNumDevices()) {
            if (major)
                  *major = vDeviceInfo[index].iMajorVersion;
            if (minor)
                  *minor = vDeviceInfo[index].iMinorVersion;
      }
      return;
}

Hopefully you will discover AL 1.1 Devices on your system after making that
change.

Dan

Dear OpenAL list,

I am using Windows XP and I am trying to get v1.1 devices on my system.
I have installed the latest OpenAL v1.1 SDK and also run the installer
which put an OpenAL.dll v6.14.357.13 in my system32 directory. But
whenever I run the EnumerateWin32 sample all of the devices are all v1.0
with no v1.1 support! I have also tried copying the OpenAL.dll
v6.14.357.13 from system32 to the same directory as the EnumerateWin32
sample, but the result is the same. Please, what step have I missed?

Thank you,

Nic
