  I have tried all the solutions that I found on the web, and still receives immediately the following windows:
  OpenAL Installer Message
  Permission not granted for writing to the system directory -- try again with administrator access
  
  And this even if I run the application with administrator rights.
  
  Thanks for any help - I cannot use anymore the games ....

  Please try this solution (especially the B variant): https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2463928577
  
  (it works for games purchased from every store)

  I just need to point out that it does not work for Planescape Torment.
  As well, very surprisingly, there are some problems with mods with the new installation.
  For example, the Random Itemizer does not work ...

  It should work for PST:EE as well. Something tells me your system is not happy with the way Open AL is installed. Try https://forums.beamdog.com/discussion/72058/all-games-yet-another-no-sound-fix
