EAX/A3D sound for EQ on Windows 10?

[Thulghor]

I've been messing around with various ways to restore the classic EAX sound effects for Everquest on Windows 10, but I feel like I can't really tell if it is working or not. It's just been too long, been 20 years or so since I last played EQ on my old Dell Dimension XPS T450 system with a Aureal A3D soundcard.

I do remember it sounding different though, especially in Neriak near the waterfall. I also worry that my Corsair Void Pro headset might be messing with my results, even with the Dolby Headphone stuff turned off.

I followed this guide using DSOAL and the A3D 1.0 wrapper.

I do get the following in my dsound.log:
-------------
IndirectSound was loaded dynamically by a call to LoadLibrary()
The IndirectSound library being loaded is located at J:\P19992019\EverQuest\dsound.dll
Version -- 0.20
The process loading IndirectSound is located at J:\P19992019\EverQuest\eqgame.exe
File version info doesn't exist
IndirectSound is being unloaded because the process is terminating
-------------

Has anyone else tried something along these lines or had better luck?

P.S. On a loosely related note, I did do the process described here for MIDI stuff and sounds, and it is way better:
