openal

I'm hooking up OpenAL (MSVSC++). I've made a basic audio player that
should set up a OpenAL context and I included the headers <al.h> and <alc.h>
But i get a linker error for every function called from OpenAL32.lib
for example:
1>erpernerl.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol
alBufferData referenced in function _playWav(void)

I have included the lib file path in "linker->general->additional Directories"
and added the file to "linker->input->additional Dependencies"
and the headers in "C/C++->General->Additional Include Directories"

what Am I doing wrong with my linking?
Also for anyone else who also uses openal for some reason, any good sources for learning it?
