Every time I start the game I get these two messages (attached below) and there is no sound. I could overlook this if the game had captions but it doesn't. Apparently I am missing a file or something. I have reinstalled several times and even tried to change my audio settings but nothing seems to work. Any assistance will be very much appreciated.

You'll need to install OpenAL, a sound library. Here's our Support link for that library:

http://files.gog.com/support/oalinst.zip

Run that installer and if it doesn't help, please write to our Support department :)

Hey "Gamerforever",
Could you please mark the reply from the GOG associate as "solution", so other users can see that it worked.
I installed the OpenAL, and that fixed it for me. I had the same error message.

(I already had OpenAL on my computer, but apparently it needed an update)

Regards
Sam
