> I'm currently running OS 10.5 with xcode version 3.1.4. > > The current version of openAL that is installed is the PowerPC version (why this is I have no clue, it may have happened when I first transferred some stuff over from my old G4). I tried running the .dmg and .pkg from creative and that hasn't helped what so ever... That won't work, the Creative-supplied version probably broke things further. There are probably two versions of the OpenAL framework on your computer now, the Mac OS X-supplied universal build and the Creative-supplied PPC-only build. Run the following in a terminal: ls -ald {/System,}/Library/Frameworks/OpenAL.framework file {/System,}/Library/Frameworks/OpenAL.framework/OpenAL The /System/Library/Frameworks/OpenAL.framework directory is the Mac OS X-supplied version, and the one you want to keep. If you have a framework in /Library/System/Framework, this is probably the wrong one. You can move it with: sudo mv /Library/Frameworks/OpenAL.framework{,.disabled} Don't install the Creative package. It won't work since it's PPC-only and not required on 10.5+.
