Have AL error in console Quake crashes

Can’t play ioquake - game stops like screenshot and In console seen AL error ! What can I do to play normal game? I think its AL sound driver I read here topic about this but my AL sound driver up to date. How to solve my problem Osx High Sierra 10.13.6 IMac

Can anyone help me with my problem?

You could try disabling OpenAL. Open the console by pressing shift+escape or ~ and type s_useOpenAL 0; snd_restart and press enter.

Commands doesn’t work for me. Im not sure what the root of the problem is !?
