Now that I installed it all and made the magic happen, everything seems to be fine - except that I can't hear my character's voice. Neither during character creation (tried every entry), nor ingame. How come? I also don't hear footsteps (but can't remember if those ever were in the game; it's been a while.)
cheers
Apparently, my stupidity knows no boundaries. I still had the sound set to 7.1, which, of course, BG doesn't support.
