I just downloaded Yamagi 8.10 and uncompressed it on the GOG Quake 2 directory. I overwrote the files (quake2.exe adn some DLL). After that, Yamagi client runs instead of standard Quake2, so music works, I can choose higher resolutions, better OpenGL support and general better experience.
Music works only with Yamagi, will never be fixed...

It's a bug of Windows 10 & 11
Only if it is some newest OS builds bug. Music should work up to some older versions of Win10. But since this (and many else) threads exist for many years - it is not a thing to be fixed. Something on your system end.

Just normally reinstall game. To proper game path. By admin. Start game from GOG included launcher. There is no big issues, should be playable, with music, and almost with no issues (except really ones exist from game creation and never be fixed).

KrisFrosz133: I tried using Yamagi but it didn't work for me. Plus the manual is so bloody confusing.

I use KMQuake II and it does the job. The music is there along with other cool features added in as well like FX particles and better UI.

HG1995: I tried kmquake 2 a long time ago but never really used the newer FX and features.
I think I went back to plain quake 2 because it started crashing enough to be annoying and I never tried any newer versions. In the future I'll give this another try.

As for installing yamagi I ignored the instructions except the music section.
All I had to do is extract anywhere then get the pak files from gog version and put them in the yamagi baseq2 rogue and xatrix folders then create music folder in same 3 folders. Then I copied music from GOG version to yamagi music folders and edited the file name of tracks from Track02.ogg to 02.ogg. Also to launch expansions just needed to make shortcuts Ground Zero is "quake2.exe +set game rogue" and The Reckoning "quake2.exe +set game xatrix" .
Hopefully this makes sense to anyone confused by the instructions
This works on Yamagi Quake 2 for Linux as well. The FlatHub version on Linux Mint 21.1.
