# Audio
Here you set the device that [FSO][]![][li] will use to output the sound effects.

-- screenshot with the "audio" section highlighted --

###Sound device
Lists the compatible sound devices that are installed on your system. "Generic software" works on any machine, choose that if you don't have a high-end dedicated sound card.

**Note**: If you don't have any device listed in the droplist, click the button below to download the latest version of OpenAL. You might want to check this [Wikipedia page][openalw]![][le] to learn more about OpenAL.

###Download OpenAL

** this button should always be enabled -- how do we know the user has the latest version? or the latest version is not needed, what is needed is a version that works? **

Click this button to open the [OpenAL download section][openald]![][le] in your browser. Then, locate, download and install the appropiate package for your system.

###Detect
Click this to redetect the audio devices installed  on your system. Useful if you made changes to your system - like installing a new version of OpenAL for example, without restarting wxLauncher.
