The difference is that OpenAL enables audio acceleration. Of course that the quality of both the audio hardware/chipset as well as the driver, do make a lot of difference. Don't forget that some onboard chipsets don't resample audio so well, so windows audio settings might have to be lowered to gain both some fps and better audio overall.
