From 2002 (when I got a PC), up to 2008 I was using an old PC, 633MHZ CPU, 256MB RAM... do I remember it correctly that DOS games recognize AC'97 as "Sound Blaster + MT32"?
I even used to use one game's setup to figure settings for another game without autodetection...

Some PCs had a BIOS option for DOS compatibility. But it was average at best and definitely not compatible mit MT-32. Maybe General MIDI, but even that is a long shot...

It was a 1997 PC, upgraded as much as possible.
