OPENAL error in Heaven benchmark

[mikeo]

Just done a Skylake re-build and when I try and run the Heaven 4.0 benchmark, I get the following error:

Can't initialize OPENAL. Install driver for your soundcard.

Now I'm sure I've had this in the past at some point. Think you need either to move the heaven folder somewhere, or move I think it's the openal dll somewhere. But I'm damned if I can remember what I did last time to get it working.

Any ideas anyone????

Thanks...

install openal

install openal

Thanks for that. It at least stopped the error message. But still no sound.

So I replaced the copy of openal32.dll in the Heaven Dir with the new one that appeared in windows/system32 and now I've got sound
