[Openal] Static libray of OpenAl Without DLL (For visualstudioproject)

[wassim_belhadj]

Thank you very much for your answer.
I'am using OpenAl Soft under Windows Platform. 
Indeed, when i run Cmake and thereafter configure i have a red list on the
right (cahe value) .
Among the list there is a variable named DSOUND in front of this variable
it is marked ON.
What I do is click once on configure and the list is now gray.
Apparently I should not do this.
I am a novice using CMAKE...
Can you tell me please what should I do?

NB:The same application works perfectly when i am using Creative OpenAL SDK
 on Windows Platform.
I hope to get help because I'm lost...
Thanks in advance
