Error added: 2006-11-08T17:22:08Z
On Win7/64-bit trying to run C# app linked against OpenAL I was getting this error for alut.alutinit(). (Error 519). Go to http://connect.creativelabs.com/openal/default.aspx and click on Downloads. I downloaded and installed oalinst. I also had to grab freealut-1.1.0-bin.zip from the ALUT "subdir" which contains alut.dll and al.h.

OpenAL is not correctly installed on your system. If you are on Vista/Win 7, you cannot use the Creative version of OpenAL32. Remove all traces of it from your system. (AL dynamically links against it). Grab openal-soft-1.10.622-bin from http://connect.creativelabs.com/openal/Downloads/Forms/AllItems.aspx and link against that. Consider downloading dependencywalker to check your dependencies and make sure all referrences to OpenAL32 are the opeanal-soft version and not the creative version. You may need to link against the March09 version of directx (for direct sound), as at the time of writing the August09 requires sal.h, which won\'t be present unless you have visual studio installed and are including its header files.
