The music is CD audio so you must have that enabled. First of all you must have a separate cable from you CD-rom drive to your soundcard then you have to check that CD audio is enabled in the volume control applet (small loudspeaker symbol in the system tray) and the volume is at an adequate level.

Hope that helps

Heh, I'm not stupid, of course I'll have the cd cable attached to my soundblaster card!
But it wont work! I have tried to play it in the 'cd player' in windows and it works perfect (except track nr 4, that one is odd, try it yourself!). Is there more people than my occurring this problem?

No you are not alone. I have a Soundblaster Live card and the music disappears when I move the first unit on the map. After that I only get screeches and other hair raising sounds. The music returns when you access other parts of the game, like the political map. Strange indeed, seems to be related to activities on the map. I have solved it by shutting off the music. I plan to convert some classical music to MP3 format and run them in the background.

And yes I have the latest drivers :)
 
Try removing the liveware crap and only use the drivers. Liveware is infamous for messing stuff up.

I know, dont use them since they dont add anything I want. it is probably something in my Compaq OEM version of W98 that cant behave, but it is the only game I have had any sound problems with. :(

I got the same problem, I'll write it down just in case.
If I start the CD-player in Win98SE I can play and hear the music tracks on the CD and I have the CD-music volume on max in both the 'mixer' in the soundblaster settings and the regular 'loudspeaker-icon' settings. But when I play EU I hear no music at all! I have 'play music' set to ON in EU. I have only played the game as Sweden but I suppose I should here music no matter which country I am playing.
I got the latest Swedish patch (1.05b). My gear:
SoundBlaster Live 1024
AMD K7 650mhz
256 mb ram
&gt;5Gb left on harddrive
