Updated with DSOAL V1.4 & OpenAL Soft 1.22.2 Original Links =========== https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/65094 https://github.com/kcat/dsoal https://github.com/kcat/openal-soft About ===== This project is for a DirectSound DLL replacement. It implements the DirectSound interfaces by translating the calls to OpenAL, and fools applications into thinking there is a hardware accelerated sound device. EAX is also implemented (up to version 4) by using OpenAL's EFX extension, allowing for environmental reverb with sound obstruction and occlusion effects. Ultimately, this enables DirectSound applications to enable their DirectSound3D acceleration path, and turn on EAX. The actual processing is being done by OpenAL with no hardware acceleration requirement, allowing it to work on systems where audio acceleration is not otherwise available. Or more succinctly: it enables DirectSound3D surround sound and EAX for systems without the requisite hardware. Source Code =========== To build the source, you will need CMake 2.6 or newer (you can get it from <http://www.cmake.org/>). You can either use the CMake GUI, specifying the directories for the source and where the build files should go, or using one of the command-line programs, for example by first making sure to be in an empty directory where the build files will go (such as the provided build/ sub- directory) and running cmake with the path to the source. Once successfully built, it should have created dsound.dll. Usage ===== Once built, copy dsound.dll to the same location as the desired application's executable. You must also provide an OpenAL DLL in the same location, named as dsoal-aldrv.dll, or else the DLL will fail to work. Some applications may need to be configured to use DirectSound3D acceleration and EAX, but it otherwise goes to work the next time the application is run. Source releases, the Git repository, and Windows binaries for OpenAL Soft are available at its homepage <http://kcat.strangesoft.met/openal.html>. Instructions are also provided there.

Console application to fix Doom 3 (2004) visual twitch bug with EAX / OpenAL. Latest release and source code can be found here.

Updated OpenAL DLL for BioShock. Extract to the installation folder, replacing the existing file if prompted.

OpenAL 2.1.0.0 extracted from a Creative driver installer. This is an official update and is newer than the version on Creative's site. Games that include OpenAL32.dll will not use the updated file unless you delete or replace the game's own version to make it see the new one instead.

This is a pack containing a compiled OpenAL Soft libraries and softwares for Linux use. It was compiled by me (KayX291) in order to help newcomers with using OpenAL Soft without trying to compile it by themselves. It can be used for specific software which uses OpenAL or use it in your system as a replacement. The main difference between OpenAL and OpenAL Soft is the fact that the latter is not only open source, but also a support for mono, stereo, 4-channel, 5.1, 6.1, 7.1 and HRTF output. But with the configurator, you can customize and even enhance the sound output with filters, effects etc. It contains: - OpenAL Soft libraries - OpenAL Soft GUI Configurator - HRTF files - alsoftrc sample file and more. They are available in both 32 bit and 64 bit versions. Dependencies required: Qt5 and pressumably SDL2 (For GUI configurator to work) Compiled on: ArchLinux - 64 bit Manjaro 17.0.6 (via VirtualBox) - 32 bit Credits Loki Software for OpenAL KCat for OpenAL Soft Me for compiling em
