Since discovering DosBox about three years ago, I have re-played several games, all have installed and played just fine...until Eagle Eye Mysteries in London.

For some reason "Sound Blaster" in the Sound Board portion of the setup doesn't work, in fact non of the options except "No Sounds" works. However, "Sound Blaster" works just fine for the Music Board. So when playing the game I get music but not the voices. I have also installed the first Eagle Eye Mysteries game and used Sound Blaster for both the Sound Board and the Music Board - that game plays fine with both sound and voices.

Is this a fixable problem or just something I will have to live with?

I just re-ran setup to try that and it looks like the defaults for Soundblaster are:
IRQ: 5
IO: 220h
DMA: 1

Ah ha! I changed the IRQ to 7 and that fixed it, thank you very much! 😀
