Federal 0 Posted March 11, 2007 Hi, I am having somne issues with my computor crashing randomly after installing ArmA, it doesn't just crash in game. I could have never played anyithing and at somepoint i will comeback and it will have rebooted for no reason. This happens randomly and started literally the day after the game first crashed. The only warning i have gotten from my comp is that i have a driver that is corrupt/damaged and causes this rebooting. I have updated my graphics card driver to catalys to tne newest one, I think it could possibly be thata new driver stuff that came with the game. OpenAL I believe it is called. I was trying to updated the driver or reinstall as it may have ben damaged from original install. I tried to go to www.openal.org and after my browsers get about half way (after a min or so) it says error 500 (or something) the server can not get to the page bla bla bla. I am wondering if it's just me or what is going omn with OpenAL. I am updating all drivers and still issue not resolved. I would like to rule out OpenAL but alas, I can't get any drivers or even access its site. Anyone know whats going on, or is my internet just deciding to block it?

W0lle 1050 Posted March 11, 2007 Seems like openal.org is having some problem at the moment. Can't access it at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Federal 0 Posted March 11, 2007 Any ETA when it will come up? Is open AL connected to BI or is it just a program you use to get the game running? I hope the site gets back soon.. Thanks, Federal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
W0lle 1050 Posted March 11, 2007 OpenAL is an Open Audio Library, similiar to OpenGL. It's not connected to BI in any way. I have an Installer here, but I have no idea if it's the latest version. If you want give it a try, let me know and I upload it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Federal 0 Posted March 11, 2007 That would be greatly appriciated.  I am now almost positive its sound related.  I just played the game, had no sound what so ever.  I exited, went into I tunes and it said my audio systems was not configed properly for sound play.  My sound is via motherboard and as far as i know the driver info is soundMAX 5.2 This is first time that is has done the no sound thing.  However when I shut down comp, and the started back up it crashed  three times when booting, i did 3sec cut off thing w/power and then it booted and it did the safe mode options and other stuff that happens.  It eventually started in the "normal mode" and now im back.  This crashing business is making me uneasy...  I am wondering  if ( though this never had anyting to do with crashing) when i run fraps and try to record, I get no sound,  only video.  I tried all the sound options and I wonder if my sound control systems is not campatable or something.  I have tried to find drivers but all i can find is them advertising sub products.  Tha actual ingame sound is fine its just after recording  when i run it theres nothing.  I wonder if openAL is in conflict or if it has interfered with my sound system. This would make sense if openAL runs even when game is not. Do you know if this would be true or not, or is it just when in game?
