Vista - Gears of war " OpenAL " only stereo so

hello
this is the 3rd game i installed this month on vista 64bit and again am only getting front stereo.
i opened Gears of war game directory and found wrap_oal.dll & openal32.dll in there, no changes needed for game other than editing the setting .ini file to to force the game to use creative labs openal32 but still am only getting front stereo!!!!
i already finished bioshock and stalkers and both running on openal 4. channels
FIX THE **bleep** DRIVER!!!

Hi,
To enable hardware-based nati've OpenAL support, you will need to edit one of the configuration files of the game, because by default, the game uses the software-based OpenAL wrapper.
Navigator to you 'My Documents' folder.
Then navigate to the following sub-directories: 'My Games\Gears of War for Windows\WarGame\Config'.
Open 'notepad' and then 'drag and drop' the file 'WarEngineUserSettings.ini' onto the window to open it.
Look for the '[ALAudio.ALAudioDevice]' section.
You should see the entry: 'DeviceName=Generic Software'
Just delete the part 'GenericSoftware' and then save the file and launch the game.
Let me know if this helps.

You do know that you can't get hardware support out of a card that doesn't have the hardware to begin with don't you Or did you miss where John said he has the Xtreme Audio

  • 5.1 sound while in Vista - only Stereo in Game

    OS: Windows Vista Ultimate 32Card: Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatalty Professional SeriesDriver: Latest CL DriverGame: America's Army 2.8. uses OpenAL sound 5.1 sound works fine while in Vista, but when I play game it's only in stereo. If I tab out of the game and back to Vista, I can play 5. sound, go back to game only stereo. The game plays 5. sound in Windows XP. I have tried with XP Compatibility Mode on and off - no difference. AA is based on UT. Any suggestions?

    If you haven't already make sure you uncheck "System driver" in the AA in game audio settings. Why they called it that is anyone's guess as what that setting does is determine whether the game uses its own OpenAL (which is 3-4 years old, and who knows how many OpenAL updates behind), or uses the OpenAL that gets installed with your cards drivers (or download and install yourself).
    It is too bad the AA devs and PB don't get they're collective thumbs out and allow you to replace the one that comes in the game with the latest like you can in BF2.

  • My iTunes won't update on my computer. I have windows vista. I can open iTunes and when I click "check for updates" it asks if I want to update to iTunes 11.1.5 and I click "Download iTunes" but then nothing happens. What's wrong?

    My iTunes won't update on my computer. I have windows vista. I can open up itunes and when I click on "check for updates" it asks if I want to download iTunes version 11.1.5 and I click "Download iTunes" but then nothing happens. Sometimes uptop the loading bar will appear but for only a split second. I have tried restarting, shutting down, I cannot figure out why it won't download. What's happening and how do I fix it?

    Try updating using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file downloaded from the Apple website:

    Hi CLD2ooth,
    You know, we haven’t heard anything in regards to pre-order bonuses for Gears of War: Ultimate Edition just yet, only the Beta Access. Considering we just recently listed this title, it’s quite likely this could change in the future.
    Keep an eye on the main Gears of War page here for any changes and I’ll do my best to jump back in here if I hear anything on this as well!
     

  • CS5 Dreamweaver on Windows Vista. Will not open at all. Please advise

    CS5 Dreamweaver on Windows Vista. Will not open at all. Been fine until now. No recent updates on computer, other Creative Suite software all work fine too.
    I have the Student package installation so I am unable to uninstall then re-install as one off set up. Or is it possible to get the re-installation on a student package, and if so will I have to re-install everything?
    have been using Dreamweaver only two months ago and now it is will not open. I do not get anything on the screen, no egg-timer or anything. Tried to look up online to solve problem, but no joy.
    Please advise....

  • Import AC3 5.1, export only stereo

    hello
    this is my second issue.
    I have audio files in 48khz AC3 5.1, I can import them to my m footage, but from that moment on it is only stereo.
    Premeiere Elemty V13 does not support AC3 5.1?
    I am also not able to tell PremElemts to use my ASIO, it only shows a WDM-driver which is not active on my computer, there is only ASIO and my window 7 sound does the "bling" on every speaker in the testpanel.
    (my sound equipment does AC3 5.1 I make the surroundfiles by myself, in VEGAS they work correctly -tested this on a computer with my friend...the files are OK)
    togehter with my 60P issue those issues would bring me to ask the community.
    from ADOBE there is no answer except :"we support AC3" but AC3 is not AC3 - there is 5.1 which I use and 2.0 which I dont use.
    brgds
    Peter

    helloyou are answering faster than I could check it.;-)
    I shure will come back if threre are more questions. wont let go someone who knows..!
    I am very surprised about your competence, from which I hope I can make use.surround is not THAT important. the 60P issue was much heavier. my little testvideo looked realy bad in 30P...now that I can export 60P I will try to do some 5.1 videos.
    I will read your instructions and try them. I will let you know.not today, today I am checking other issues.
    thank you very muchbrgds and have a successful new week

    created by A.T. Romano in Premiere Elements - View the full discussionPeter Premiere Elements (any version) does not offer 5.1 channel sound in any of its burn to end products - not Dolby Digital 5.1, AAC 5.1, Windows Media Audio 10 Professional 5.1....I am understanding AC3 as representing Dolby Digital which could be stereo (2 channel) or 5.1 channel (6 channels). But, you do have limited opportunities to export to file a file that has 5.1 channel audio. It is not going to be Dolby Digital 5.1. It will beAAC 5.1 or a Windows Media Audio 10 Professional 5.1 channel. The key to using even those limited possibilities is to be working from aproject preset described for use with 5.1 channel audio. And, not all the Adobe project presets come with 5.1 channel included in its description.The answer has been to make your own project preset to include 5.1 before opening your new project using your user created project preset as the project presetin your new project. I have done extensive and innovative work in the matter of Premiere Elements and 5.1 channel.

  • Gears of War 3

    Hello I have a few questions regarding the release of Gears of War 3 (September 20, 2011).
    1. Is Best Buy doing a midnight release? If so are you going to give out something special other than the exclusive multiplayer character Mechanic Baird?
    Because 3 years ago at the release of Gears of War 2 they gave out Golden Hammerburst Codes at midnight release.
    Thank You.

    Call your local store. Certain stores do midnight releases only on certain games.
    As a former employee of Best Buy my opinions are my opinions, and not those of Best Buy.

    the old apps are on my computer but they have had upgrades since they were put on the ipod originally.  you think you would get a warning about this when you restored. I was not worried about losing the progress of the apps but i would have been worried about the app it self!!!!!

  • Browser will open once and open only one page. It closes but then won't open again. How do i fix it?

    In the last 24 hours my browser will open only once and go to only one site i choose. after that , i can go to another site but links won't open or anything else. After i close the browser , so i can restart it, it tells me firefox is already open. Problem is it never shuts down in the background. I have to use the task manager to shut it off so i can open it again. Funny thing is that internet explorer, works fine but i don't want to use it. I even tried reinstalling firefox but it did not work. I had to post this on a different computer as well.

  • All my Adobe Reader (PDF) files are opening only in the secondary monitor by default, as I am workin

    I am using Adobe 8 Professional and working on Windows XP. I have been facing an issue lately with opening files in a dual-monitor environment. All my Adobe Reader (PDF) files are opening only in the secondary monitor by default. There are times when I work only in one monitor and when I open a PDF file and want to have a look at it, I have to connect another monitor to view that file, since this file is open in the secondary monitor. It is very disappointing with such instances happening with Adobe (a leading organization). Can you please help so that the Adobe Reader files open in the primary monitor by default?

    On a Windows system disable the preview of Windows Explorer.
