Open AL problems

Maybe I did something wrong, let me know if so. So, I download and install the SDK, and go about reading. After a bit of time, I decide to open up the GUI editor to poke around, and go to my C:\Torque\SDK\example\ folder and double click on torqueDemo.exe. A dos window opens and very shortly after closes with nothing else happening. After a bit of investigating, I notice that a console.log is generated when I do this, and the last bit of the log reads:

"OpenAL Driver Init:
OpenAL
Missing OpenAL Extension function 'EAXSet'"

To make a long story short, I download and install open al manually, then rename the .dll in the example\ directory and that makes it work. It strikes me as odd that the openal32.dll that was installed with the sdk package generated an error. Did I miss something? Did anyone else have this problem? This isn't mission critical, since I got things working and am right now just feeling things out.
