Possible bug in sf::sound

[Tytan]

So, I have a average game, with networking audio, and graphics, I start the game for another round of debugging, and see this in the console window:

AL lib: (EE) MMDevApiOpenPlayback: Device init failed: 0x80004005
Failed to open the audio device

Not quite sure if you need the source code for my game, or what this means, is it a bug I have to deal with? xD

It means that OpenAL can't open the audio device. This can have multiple reasons, quite common is that they driver is not installed or is buggy. Or that some application has take exclusive access to the audio device.

Try to play back some sound through another application. Check your running applications and if you can't find anything, try rebooting your system to reload all drivers.

Thank god! Though it was something to do with my code xD
