Description
Some Windows applications use the OpenAL library to produce three-dimensional positional audio.
Resolution
On CrossOver 17 and greater, the simplest solution to fix this issue is to run:
/path/to/cxoffice/bin/cxfix missinglibopenal missinglibopenal.amd64
Or add --show-all to see how CrossOver would fix it on your platform and others.
Alternatively you may try one of the commands below.
- For 32-bit Windows applications
32-bit Arch Linux : pacman -Syu openal
64-bit Arch Linux : pacman -Syu lib32-openal
Debian : apt-get install libopenal1:i386
32-bit Fedora : yum install openal-soft
64-bit Fedora : yum install openal-soft.i686 openal-soft.x86_64
32-bit openSUSE >= 11.2 : zypper install libopenal1-soft
64-bit openSUSE >= 11.2 : zypper install libopenal1-soft-32bit
32-bit openSUSE >= 12.3 : zypper install libopenal1
64-bit openSUSE >= 12.3 : zypper install libopenal1-32bit - For 64-bit Windows applications
Arch Linux : pacman -Syu openal
Debian : apt-get install libopenal1:amd64
Fedora : yum install openal-soft.x86_64
openSUSE >= 11.2 : zypper install libopenal1-soft
openSUSE >= 12.3 : zypper install libopenal1
Notes:
- cxfix --show-all may have more up-to-date fixes.
- The commands usually also apply to newer versions of the distributions above as well as derived distributions. So for instance a fix for Debian 7 may still be valid for the latest Debian Testing and is typically also applicable to Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Deepin and Pop! OS. Similarly a fix for Fedora likely also works on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS, etc.
