I am wondering if anyone out there has come across a program that would allow the Windows Sound Drivers to Emulate a DOS driver, thus allowing some really old games to be played with sound? I have tried SBESET, but either it is propreitary and only works with Sound Blaster cards, or I have messed up the configuration.

Thanks in advance for your help!

"""DOSBox emulates an Intel x86 PC, complete with sound, graphics, mouse, (modem)?, etc., necessary for running many old DOS games that simply cannot be run on modern PCs and operating systems, such as Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows XP, Linux and FreeBSD. However, it is not restricted to running only games. In theory, any DOS application should run in DOSBox, but the emphasis has been on getting DOS games to run smoothly, which means that communication, networking and printer support are still in early developement."""
