thanks

doesn't really help, but...good new: I found my error!

After the statement

Alut.alutInit();

I put

int error 3 = Alut.alutGetError();

obviously the error is 519, after some search this is Alut.ALUT_ERROR_OPEN_DEVICE.
So the eroor went at initializing alut.

what should I do now?

Hi,
I found something similar with your code when I was reading the book <<C-#.Game.Programming.-.For.Serious.Game.Creation>> and now I have the same question, that it returns 0, but my alutInit() Function works well, it doesn't give an errorCode, plus, two functions---Al.alGenSources(this is from a function called DiscoverChannel(1,out src)) and Al.alGenBuffers(1, out buffer)-- don't seem to work as expected because src and buffer stay the same (that is, -1) after those functions.
I just started learning C#, and I happened to find that your question has been posted for quite a time, did you solve your own ? I really appreciate it if you could share some experience.~~

Please don't reply to old posts like this - the OP isn't necessarily around any more and doesn't necessarily remember what happened. You don't really have the same question either.
