Title: crystalspace.sndsys.renderer.null
Post by: Conner36 on June 14, 2011, 07:13:16 pm

Am I correct and assuming that

Quote

crystalspace.pluginmgr.loadplugin:
could not load plugin 'crystalspace.sndsys.renderer.null'

is the reason that I have no audio?
Any way to fix it?

Thanks it's 'working' now. It seems to freeze intermittently in the death zone. I've had to restart the game 3 times already. Sometimes it will come back to life others it hangs for ever. At least I have sound (except of course when it glitches/freezes).
Any suggestions?

The freezing could be the shaders being calculated.Happens to me every update until they get calculated then everything is fine. going into a new area will result in shaders being calculated for that area

wasn't there a setting in an earlier version to pre-calculate?

Now it's crashing every time I click a quick response  :(
I guess thats what happens when you code c++. After PSv3.19 I've never been able to just load up and go. Why must it be soo buggy?

Try completely erase the shadercache file - it can be corrupted - only problem is that you will need to wait for shaders calculation again. When you will be still crashing, try disable VBO - it can cause crashes too. When it is caused by sound manager, you can try set it to System.PlugIns.iSndSysRenderer = crystalspace.sndsys.renderer.software

it's what happens when compilers, drivers and system libraries provided by the operating system developer are bugged and from the last decade.
also if it crashes macosx builds are provided with debug symbols so the os should show where it crashed

set openal in pslaunch

I have no openAL option in launcher Audio menu, only 'software' appears in the pull-down.  I'm running Windows 7 on a 64 bit system and downloaded the 64bit version of PS 5.7 and have since updated to 5.7.1.  The openAL32.dll file is there in the PS folder and sound worked fine before updating to 5.7.  I did a new install rather than use the updater also.  How do I get sound to work so I can hear the new spells?

maybe what's needed is a openal64.dll, i couldn't say as i don't have any 64bit systems at all, yes i'm that far behind :P but there seems to be one OR you need to install the openal package from creative
