I'm currently using directx for my game's rendering, sound(3d) and input. And after I've completed most of the game, I thought it might be fun to use opengl instead, as it doesn't require the huge dx sdk. But with sound and input, must I download other apis? And what are my options? Thanks

OpenGL is just graphics, I suggest you download SDL which creates windows for OpenGL and also has sound and input support as well but, these are some other options:

Sound:


The only good library for input imho is OIS.

Good Luck,

I haven't looked heavily into yet (plan to once I get enough time), but you may want to also check out something like Audiere. There's also a link to a list of free game libraries in the Alternative Game Libraries forum that has a few extra listed under the sound and music section that you may want to look into. And I'll second the recommendation for OIS.
I've heard nothing but good things about FMOD, so I suggest you take a look.
