Alright, so I installed the OpenAL packages for Ubuntu (10.10) and in BlitzMax everything works, but there is always a readout in the IDE from the application that is using OpenAL.

Process complete

Like I said, everything runs and there is sound, but there is always a readout. Is there a fix for this?

Thanks in advance! And, I have to say, it's weird posting in the beginner's section. :) I haven't done this in a while.

Not sure but OpenAL is very hit and miss in Ubuntu. The best I got out of it was a crackle.

I think Skidracer has a pulse audio module somewhere which apparently performs much better.
