OpenAL?

Any thoughts on Hardware OpenAL in this game and crashing? It seems my old install works fine with OpenAL on, but my new one does not. I thought it was the Nvidia video drivers, but it's when I turn on Hardware OpenAL. I have XP SP2 and Audigy2 card with newer components.

EDIT: I fixed it by using the 409KB file wrap_oal.dll for its own file and also made a copy and called it OpenAL32.dll and the game works now. But the question still remains and it looks like I won't be trying the new Audigy2 sound drivers because my 2004 ones still work for all games.
