  <pre><code>AL lib: UpdateDeviceParams: Failed to set 44100hz, got 48000hz instead 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Windows 10
  64bit, same happens with 32bit installer
  blender-2.79b-windows64.msi is what I installed.</p>
  
  <p>My problem is that I cannot set 44100hz as mentioned in other posts under sound settings.</p>

  <p>Can I still use this software? How do I get it to work?
  Can I start it with the command line and ignore the error somehow? If yes, how? I do not need sound.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you.</p>
  
  <p>Kind Regards.</p>
