Oh, and I have 1.0.3 and I have started a new game. German Version from Steam.

Strange, seems to be working fine for me. Other sounds work, right? Are the footsteps and casting sounds always missing or only sometimes?

Can you please post your cfg.ini and arx.log? It's located in:

XP: '<profile>\My Documents\My Games\Arx Libertatis'
Vista and up: '<profile>\Saved Games\Arx Libertatis'
Linux: '~/.local/share/arx/' and '~/.config/arx/'
OS X: '~/Library/Application Support/ArxLibertatis/'

Also, this might be a duplicate of Bug report 415 - ambient sounds

Hm, the log doesn't show anything that went wrong...

Can you please download one of the two OpenAL32.dll files I attached (you need the 32-bit one for 32-bit Arx Libertatis and the 64-bit one for 64-bit Arx Libertatis) and put it where you installed Arx Libertatis (it needs to be in the same directory as arx.exe). If everything went OK the log should say "Using OpenAL Soft 1.1 ALSOFT 1.15".

If that doesn't help, you could try the "Direct Sound" backend under Options -> Audio Settings.
