Question OpenAL32.dll is missing Error in Windows 10

[graphicer69]

Today, I got the above error while launching the game on Windows 10. Reinstalling didn't work for me. I updated the drivers and also Windows Updates. I cleared the caches also but nothing worked. From Google search, I found these steps but nothing fixed my issue. Hope somebody has a similar issue and can provide me quick solution. Thanks for the suggestions in advance.

Did you re-install your audio (sound) drivers?

Yup, I re-installed the audio drivers and updated the drivers but still getting the same issue. My friend suggested me to download and replace the DLL from the DLL site: questionable link but this also didn't work for me. Any more suggestions on this topic, please.

Don't use sites like that one. They are often the source of malware.

Did this issue start after you installed the aforementioned game?
