UT3 Squeal with OpenAL

[Hivez]

I'm having an issue with turning on OpenAL in the game. It works just fine without OpenAL turned on.

Dell XPS 720 H2C
Q6850
4gb ram
Vista Ultimate x64
(2) 8800 Ultra SLI
XiFi Fatal1ty Platinum (11-5 drivers)

I tried to use creatives Alchemy (10-1 driver) and transmutate it or whatever its' called then I get a dsound.dll has been modified and UT3 will not run.

Anyone have any clue how to fix this?

Thanks,

Josh

This has been a bug since the beta was released. They have acknowledged the post on the forums (one post at least). They do not plan to fix it anytime soon, but Epic has officially blamed Creative in a post on these forums (they say "Creative has managed to reproduce the problem").

Its been 2 months now. I highly recommend finding a new game till its worked out (i just can't play a game I paid for when after 2 months i still don't have 5.1 surround).

[if your looking for the other posts, check the tracked problems thread. Its under the OpenAl problem, which lists the wonderful solution: disable openAl].

the problem is specific to us X-Fi Fatality owners too - or at least all x-fi's with 64mb x-ram.

I'm using windows xp sp2. I get decent sound out of 2 speakers, but have no surround.

If i enable openAl the game just crashes.
