You won't probably get any sound from an ms-dos game using a modern soundcard. Your best bet is to use DOSBox, that is an ms-dos emulator oriented towards gaming. You should take a look at DOSBox guides section on this forum.

If you really want to run in under XP, you could try to run it with VDMSound.

Runs perfectly fine for me in DOSBox with no special tweaking.

I had the same problem with Discworld sound.

I used the XP fix that can be found many places including the home of the underdogs and I used VDMSound.

It works fine now.
