I've recently installed the GoG release of Soldier of Fortune II Gold (which should be the same as the retail version patched up to 1.03) on a laptop running Windows 11 and I've ran into a bizarre bug. If I use DSOAL with the game and enable EAX in the game's audio settings, music in the game will not play at all. This includes the music in the main menu. The only way to enable EAX and to have music is to change the audio driver via the settings to DirectSound and then back to EAX, which will trigger music playback, which will work correctly until the next save load, level end or until I quit the game. Oddly the audio seems fine otherwise. I was wondering if this was a DSOAL glitch, or if it was something inherent to the game itself. I don't have an XP pc with an actual Soundblaster, so it would be nice if someone could test it with real hardware to see if it also occurs there.
