I can start bioshock but only if i add -nosound to the start options in steam. The fix with stereomix does not work. I use windows 7. Reinstalling game and drivers did not work

First of all, go to Steam and search game files in options of the game. Find the main executable and set compatibility with Windows XP SP3.
If it doesn't help:
It should be connected with OpenAL and necessity of updating the game's library.
