Lwjgl OpenAL cannot initialize

[Professor29]

UPDATE [FIX]: My LWJGL wasn't downloading correctly, causing it to crash. By grabbing the newest version from their web site and replacing the files (both in the bin folder and natives folder) I was able to resolve the problem. Thank you to everyone that provided aid

---------------------------------------------------------------------
FTB Launcher version: v1.0.4, problem exists on both .exe and .jar versions
Minecraft Version: v1.4.2
Java version: Java 7 Update 9
Detailed description of the issue: When using the launcher, minecraft crashes and closes itself while attempting to initialize the LWJGL OpenAL. No error is given, it just shuts off. I have done a clean install of Java and the FTB launcher, to no avail. The error doesn't appear to be linked with any mods, since the close occurs when attempting to launch with all mods disabled.
Log with all mods disabled:

I'm running Windows 7 64-bit, if that helps. Not sure what else to try to solve the issue...

Thank you for your time,​

If you use nvidia video card then install latest driver from nvidia site instead default microsoft installed.
I have semilar problem for windows 8 defaul driver in past.

Try to update your driver. Can you open up normal vanilla Minecraft without the launcher?

I'm on a laptop with an integrated Radeon HD graphics card. I know it's not powerful, but it works for minecraft at least...

I have updated the graphics driver and experience the same issue. I can run vanilla minecraft with no issues, but the launcher still fails at the same point. When testing after updating, the launcher generated the following file... not sure if it will be helpful: http://pastebin.com/HCCBg1f5

Thanks to the google doc set up by Meldiron (found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1hafQqciYodOxth152qVampO_t46DBGGMpH9AF9xWFc0/edit?pli=1), I was able to locate the issue: my lwgjl version was apparently out of date every time it downloaded. Grabbed the newest version from their site (link in gdoc), and was up and running after replacing the necessary files. Updating the first post to include information, in case someone else has this problem.
