Unable to locate package openal-soft

Question

I'm trying to install openal-soft on Ubuntu Focal, but without luck.

This is the package I would like to install:

https://packages.ubuntu.com/source/focal/openal-soft

What I tried:

sudo apt update
sudo add-apt-repository universe
sudo apt install openal-soft

Am I missing something?

Answer 1

The package openal-soft does not exist.

If you want to install the OpenAL SDK, use this command:

sudo apt-get install libopenal-dev

If you only need the lib on your system, run:

sudo apt install libopenal1

You also don't need to add the universe repository because it is enabled by default.
