After installing Death Trap Dungeon by Eidos the
introductory music plays fine but when I start the game I
get no sound.

Is there any hope

I remember getting a preview CD of that back when I first got Tomb Raider. I
don't recall whether it was for DOS or Windows though. If it's for DOS
you'll probably need to use a utility like VDMSound to emulate a legacy
card. If it's a Windows game try running it in Windows 95 compatibility
mode.
 
Hi MG Taylor! Here's some details to compliment Jason's good advice...

When a game is a DOS game, it could work using compatibility mode:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=292533 or by using the Multiboot
bootdisk from: http://members.ozemail.com.au/~lpcd/downloads.html
and always check at fileplanet.com to see if there's a patch available.

With DOSBOX you can emulate a DOS computer on your XP desktop:
http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/information.php Or try MS Virtual PC:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/virtualpc/downloads/trial.asp
which allows you to install DOS or to run any operating system inside XP.

If you prefer to explore other advanced methods, here are two excellent
tutorials I've found on the subject: http://www.dosgames.com/xphints.php
and http://home.earthlink.net/~angeldancer27/XpGameList.htm For sound
issues use: http://www.ece.mcgill.ca/~vromas/vdmsound Good Luck! :-)
