Error saying, "OpenAL32.dll is missing"

The above error occurred when I tried to include the audio library into my program's directory and attempted to play it. I am running it on Windows 8.1. I downloaded the missing DLL from the DLL site like this:
https://dlldownloads.com/openal32-dll/
. But still, I can't solve the issue. What is this issue all about?
I am using SFML 2.5.1. Thanks in advance.

The SFML download should have included the correct dll to use. Even though the names might be the same, it might be a different version than what SFML is expecting. Checked if you missed it in the bin folder. I hope this helps!

You should never download DLLs from random website (unless you like download viruses, trojans, etc)
The OpenAL DLL is included with SFML and needs to be copied next to your executable as mentioned in the tutorials.
