I spent some time learning DirectX and now I want to try my hand at OpenGL but am at a loss. I have been searching the web all morning and am not sure about a few things. Mainly what API''s are out there for sound and input other than DirectX that can be used with OpenGL. Thanks in advance for any help.

Correct me if I am wrong but OpenIL has absolutely nothing to do with Input. It is an image processing library.
Correct me if I''m wrong but OpenAL was in dev by LOKI and last i checked Loki filed chapter 11. So why continue with a Lib no longer in development? OpenAL is unoptimized and not being developed anymore. If you are still bent on making games for an OS the a select few use. Use FMode for sound or DirectX. Leave OpenAL alone.

IT was in dev by LOKI, true, but it was also supported by Creative. I doubt they''re going anywhere.
Yep, you''re wrong. It''s an open-source project, after all. Creative continues to support it.
take a look at sdl, it does most everthing directx does and handles opengl beautifully
