The exact same thing happens to me, except that I'm running OFP only (no gold update).
I noticed this after updating to v1.30, but after several uninstall/reinstalls, this still happens. It doesn't work in any of the versions I have tried (v1.0, v1.20 & v1.30).
System specs:
Windows ME
Athlon 1.4 Ghz
MSI K7T Turbo (VIA KT133A)
256 Ram
Onboard audio (VIA)
