Post by: HammaJamma on July 31, 2014, 02:32:00 am

};

It was originally an openAL32.dll is missing error but I used an openAL installer from here

here's my system info
(click to show/hide)

I'm using Static SFML 2.1

I checked my Graphics card and audio drivers and both are up to date (now xD)
I have installed libsndfile-1.0.25 x64 and x32 from here

I will keep searching for a solution but if anyone has any idea what is causing this I would appreciate the info

From the docs

If you are using the sfml-audio module (either statically or dynamically), you must also copy the DLLs of the external libraries needed by it, which are libsndfile-1.dll and OpenAL32.dll.
These files can be found in <sfml-install-path/bin> too.
