Which version of PrBoom?
I don't have any major problems with PrBoom's music in Windows XP Home, but of course there is more than one version of XP Home, and these things tend to be system-dependent too.
You could try downloading the most recent version of SDL and seeing if that helps. PrBoom uses SDL.dll, SDL_mixer.dll and SDL_net.dll, but the version of PrBoom that you downloaded might have old versions. Conversely, you could check that the files haven't been overwritten with some other versions that your system doesn't like. Personally, I've never found it makes much difference which version of the dlls is used, but presumably there is some reason why they keep updating them. :p I imagine Quasar knows the ins-and-outs of this stuff, since Eternity also uses SDL.
Other than checking the obvious things (you unzipped everything from the prboom package, that MIDI isn't muted in the volume control(!), and that there is nothing silly in the sound settings in your .cfg file), I'm not sure what else to suggest.
