Make sure to add the right include paths in your Options/Settings
in Visual Studio.

Let's say you have installed OpenAL in the folder C:\OpenAL.
The include paths will be C:\OpenAL\Win and C:\OpenAL\Win\AL
(the paths C:\OpenAL\Include and C:\OpenAL\Include\AL will not work
because the OpenAL platform-dependant implementations have been
developed separately by Creative Labs and Lokigames and the header
files did not remain the same (slightly different function names,
arguments, defines, and so on).

Please tell us if this helps to correct your problem.
If so, we'll add some more precise information in the document
http://www.nevrax.org/docs/doxygen/nel/nel_sound.html

Regards,
Olivier
