Penumbra Overture crashes: Openal Problem - Esquizofrenico - 05-19-2012

Hi. I bought recently the Penumbra series for Windows and when I try to initiate any of the game the screen goes black and then it comes back to the desktop and a error message pops up saying:

"Failed! Check your OpenAl Installation"


The hpl file at "Documents/Penumbra Overture/Episode1" says this:
