+AssaultCube comes with two different OpenAL implementations:
+
+- OpenAL 2.0.3 (Official)
+- OpenAL-Soft 1.4.272 customized
+
+Both have their pros and cons. By default, the official OpenAL (oalinst.exe)
+is installed during setup. If you experience sound problems in AssaultCube
+you might want to switch to OpenAL-Soft. This can be done by renaming the file
+
+openal32_RemoveThisPartToUseOpenAL-Soft.dll
+
+to
+
+openal32.dll
+
+This way, AssaultCube detects this file on startup and loads OpenAL-Soft. Otherwise
+it would fall back to the system-wide installed Official OpenAL implementation.
