Do you have DX or another audio subsystem installed? Have a look over this:

When trying to determine the device to use when initializing OpenAL you can use the following:

Code:

char* DefaultDevice = (char*)alcGetString(NULL, ALC_DEFAULT_DEVICE_SPECIFIER);

alcOpenDevice((ALubyte*)DefaultDevice);
...

I hope that is of some help.
You can also enumerate the devices available and then store then in an array so that you can use some of the other "non-default" devices.
