Hi, how do you install the sound driver in the DOS environment of Windows 98 SE?

Typically it does not need to be installed. Win98 SE handles SB emulation for its DOS environment.
Could you be more specific? Which sound card, which driver?

The sound card is integrated with the Intel chipset. There is audio in the Windows environment, but no audio in the DOS environment. PC is IBM NetVista 830542A.

Well the Sound Blaster Live shipped with an SB emulation driver so I guess you need support for it in whatever driver you install for the sound card. Maybe you can download a more full-featured driver from Intel or IBM?

I have tried the method at this site, but when I try diagnose, it has compatibility error.

Unless you have an AWE64 or similar Creative card, I don't think those DOS drivers will work.
Diagnose is a Creative utility.
Unless the IBM NetVista 830542A has DOS drivers for the sound, I don't think you'll get sound when booted to DOS mode -- only when playing the DOS games in Windows.
