In DOS, each programmer must develop his own driver for each sound card. To save time, most games developers went with Sblaster & compatibles. Any standard Windows 3.1 & Win'95 multimedia applications work because the drivers are standardized at the Windows link... but a DOS-based game - even if you play it in the Win'95 operating system - must have its own driver. Check with the publisher of the game to see if they have since developed a new DOS driver for more sound cards... it's their code. I trust that this is helpful.
