I also found out why GetMixFormat fails on my system (Kubuntu 10.04). OpenAL returns Pulse Audio as the default device, but pulseaudio daemon is not running (I removed the pulseaudio package from my system). MMDevEnum marks the pulseaudio device as the default one (for both render and capture), but alcOpenDevice / alcCaptureOpenDevice fail so the device is marked with state DEVICE_STATE_NOTPRESENT and openal_setformat is never called (which is the function responsible for writing the DeviceFormat registry key, used by GetMixFormat). A proper fix for the failed GetMixFormat test would be to fall back MMDevice_def_play / MMDevice_def_rec to the 2nd, 3rd, etc device from the default device list, and eventually to the first good device that is found (if all devices from the default device list fail). Is this OK? Octavian
