my project and engine and whatnot compiles fine, but when i go to run it, as soon as it gets to my Init() for the audio part, a box comes up with this error: "An unhandled exception of type 'System.TypeLoadException' occurred in Drawing.exe Additional information: Could not load type ALCdevice_struct from assembly Drawing, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null." what's that mean? I have the openal.dll in the same folder and i'm linking the openal.lib

Since there is no code, have you looked at devmasters site (under articles and at the very bottom for OpenAL example code?)

Other then that I think we need some code. Remember to use source tags too! :)

ok, there seems to be an error with the ALCdevice object.. when i took i out of my engine, it ran fine; none of the sound worked but everything ran fine, no errors.

Also, when i try to right click it and go to definitions, it says it hasn't been defined, so that could be it. In the alc.h the object isn't defined.. do i have an earlier version or something? y isn't the ALCdevice object defined? and y is it giving me that error?
