Sound for DOS games on modern hardware?

My recollection is that under DOS, there were no "DOS" sound card drivers - you told your DOS app where the card lived (0x220, for SB hardware, typically), what its DMA and IRQ were (which varied from box to box), and the *app* had its own drivers. You typically ran a setup program for each game that you told if you had an 8-bit card or a 16-bit card, etc. In this case, Wolf3D is looking for a real SoundBlaster model and uses the "BLASTER" environment variable to find its resources. If someone here knows differently, please speak up. I wouldn't expect so. It works perfectly under Windows. 1991-1994. Video and speed aren't the problem. The game plays perfectly except that it can't find my sound card and it resorts to sound effects through the PC speaker. :-P Part of the Wolf3D experience is the repetitious sound track. :-) I'll look around. Thanks.
