Cutscenes are not implemented. Dunno if someone tries to fix this.

As for soundtrack, you must own it in some form. If you have GOG version, just put ogg files into baseq2/music folder and set ogg_enable variable. If you have Q2 CD, you can encode it to ogg files.
If you don't own Q2 with music, then there is no legal way to put it into game, AFAIK.

Q2PRO, which Q2RTX is based on, took all support for cutscenes out, and nvidia don't think it's worth it to put it back in. They aren't against having the cutscenes in, they just don't want to do it themselves. You can watch them in ffmpeg if you just want to know what's going on.

They can't distribute the soundtrack, just as they can't distribute the other game assets that weren't open sourced. Support for playing them, if you have them, was put in with the first update. The GOG version of Quake 2 comes with the soundtrack; the Steam version doesn't.

i already purchased the steam version, and i can't get the GOG version either, so is there any way to do so that doesn't involve me going to ebay to get a copy of Q2, and a plug in disk reader just to have a soundtrack for the game?

People have made those files available, and some mods include them. The legality of using them, even if you have a licence to the Steam version, will vary by jurisdiction.

You'd have to ask a lawyer about how the laws apply in your jurisdiction.

You already know how to find them: people have linked them here, and some game mods have them.

If they're ogg files, named appropriately, and in the right place, then yes.

would i have to install the mod onto the base game and then run the RTX mod over it or do i have to get those parts individually?

They're just files. Copy them to the right place and name them the right thing. That's it.
