Can you provide more details? What kind of sound card? ISA? Or PCI card with integrated OPL3?
In case of the latter, some cards (Yamaha YMF7x4 in particular) can't use OPL3 if you use vendor drivers instead of the one came with Windows.
This is the first time I am seeing a discussion of OPL and XP in the same sentence

Hi! OPL3 was supported in XP with the Sound Blaster 16 driver.
The TTSolo PCI cards had an ESFM synth that was OPL3 compatible, too.
So yes, OPL3 on XP used to be normal, I think.
At least in the early years, when most XP PCs were just upgraded Windows 98SE PCs. 😀
They not seldomly had cheap SB16 Vibra ISA soundcards installed, still, at the time.
Or on-board SB16 soundcards (some Pentium II/III motherboards).
Anyway, there's also an OPL3 emulator for Windows 2k/XP..
