DefOpenAL32.dll is provided as a fallback, which is used if another OpenAL driver isn't installed and selected.

Here's the injector: https://www.warp13.co.uk/mech2 And to play @1024x768: "The file MW2SND consists mostly of binary data, but starting from offset 38h (56 decimal), there is a filename. It may be either MCGA.DLL, or VESA480.DLL. Change it into VESA768.DLL and save the file." Or maybe it's enough …
