Unfortunately, Multiplay was the only free Windows-based program that I thought was halfway decent. There are a couple of paid programs out there that you could trial and see if you like - Show Cue System, SFX, or even CSC Show Control.
But - if I'm honest - Qlab really is the best. I really didn't want to hear it at first because I didn't have a mac (have always been a PC guy, myself). I used a very old (2009) macbook that someone was giving away so I could run Qlab for free and it was so great that I never looked back. It still runs Qlab 4. We did end up fundraising to buy a newer mac, but I just switched the old one on and pulled up an old show file, lol.
I am curious, though, what you mean when you say it is not compatible with newer technology sound boards. How so? Are you referring to more advanced functions than just sound cue playback?

Subject: Sound Cue Program
I have been using Multiplay for my sound cues for years. I just found out that it is not compatible with newer technology sound boards. It was almost a disaster at our One Act Play competition. Luckily I had everything backed up on Google Drive so the contest director was able to upload my cue into their sound cue program on a Mac. What program is everyone using now for sound cues? I don't have a Mac . I'm using a Dell laptop.
