Is it disabled in the game, or in Win98SE?

What are the settings for the sound and music cards in the game? Do they match what is set in DOSBox?

If possible, set the music card to MIDI/MPU-401 and the sound card to plain SoundBlaster, and check the following in your DOSBox configuration:

[mixer]
nosound=false

[midi]

mpu401=true
device=default

[sblaster]

sblaster=true
base=220
irq=7
dma=1

Sorry, I think you need help from someone who has "Alone in the Dark 3", and I do not.

One more thing (if you have winxp):
My computer ->right click on your cd->properities->hardware->double click on your cd name->properities->check turn on digital audio playing from this cd device

(if you have win9x check whether your cd audio cable is connected from cd to your sound card)

There are two ways of playing CD audio: digital (in fact grabbing, this does not need the cable from CD to soundcard) and analog (older one, needs cable connected to the soundcard).
Windows Media Player knows both and it defaults to digital (there is checkbox "Digital" somewhere in menu). If the game has CD Audio you probably need the cable (the game does not do grabbing, it just tells the CD to play track XY and the sound from CD mechanic goes to soundcard).

If you have the analog connection from CD to sound card then it is ok (some CDs/soundcards enable digital connection as well, I do not have experience). But there must be some connection (otherwise only grabbing is possible).
