I had reset my BIOS options and forgot to disable the onboard sound card. This resulted in some strange behavior within Duke Nukem 3D's setup application and the game itself crashing unexpectedly.
Which onboard sound device was that? Does it get initialized without any DOS drivers?
This can be due to resources conflicts between the onboard sound device and the installed sound card.

That screenshot might just as well be live footage of frustrated users permanently disabling useless onboard sound features. 🤣

Modern and even not so modern on-board soundcards cannot even seen by DOS/DOS games. Neither AC97 nor HD Audio has native DOS support. So besides (unlikely) resource conflicts with a DOS supported soundcard they cannot do such problems and in this regard COM ports, LPT ports, USB controllers etc. can also cause the same problems.
