What is your sound hardware ?

 

ew> from the system panel:  ESS Maestro PCI Audio (WDM)

That probably means your OpenAL configuration is wrong. fgsetup provides
DLL but I am not certain that this is the right thing to do.

You can try to remove openal32.exe and wrap_oal.exe from the flightgear
bin directory and install the package located at :
http://developer.creative.com/articles/article.asp?cat=1&sbcat=31&top=38&aid=46
There is also an older one in the flightgear bin directory (
OpenALwEAX.exe )

ew> I renamed thte openal32.exe and wrap_oal.exe to *.old, then installed the OpenAL from your link. I got the same error.

 

with kind regards,
