Game Name? Any game

Game ID? Any game

What went wrong? When I open up any gamecube game (didnt test wii yet) I get a series of errors regarding OpenAL.
In a list:
OpenAL: can't create context for device OpenAL Soft
Could not initialize backend OpenAL
Sound backend OpenAL is not valid
Error starting up sound stream

After those errors, I can continue playing but without audio.

This started happening after using my new Sound blaster Recon3D Omega headset. (it's omega headset and the Recon3D device)

What did you expect to happen instead? Play games with sound.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
[Don't assume we have played the game and know its level names. Be as
detailed as possible.]

  1. Start game with Recon3D Omega
  2. Errors show
  3. No audio

Dolphin 3.5 and Dolphin 3.5-367 are old versions of Dolphin that have
known issues and bugs. Have you tested with the latest version from
http://dolphin-emu.org/download ?

Which versions of Dolphin did you test on? 3.5-2259

Which version of Dolphin used to work? None AFAIK

What are your PC specifications (example: Operating System, CPU and GPU)?
2630QM
Windows 7
GTX 560M 1.5 GB
64 or 32 bit Operating System? 64

64 or 32 bit Dolphin? 64

Any other relevant information (e.g. logs, screenshots, configuration
files)
[Upload big files to a hosting service and post links here!]

Do not attach files to this issue. Upload them to another site and
link here. Use imgur.com for images and pastie.org for logs.

Also, I am using HLE (obviously Xaudio2 and Dsound work properly)

Recon3D uses 3D audio processing. if that helps.
