What sound card model are you using and which DOS drivers?
I'm using this "driver" (not a driver itself, just initializes the card and leaves no TSR). I think the card is a Labway one, it got an Xwave 4000 sticker on the ALS4000 chip and got the FCC ID: LWHA511P7. The "legacy mode" in the initializor is what I list as DDMA mode in my spreadsheet. It got a couple of other DMA modes, but they doesn't work very well.
There is even a comptibility list in the readme.txt in the driver archive, it dosen't seem like you will get good results with the 845. 😖

# NOT work
Intel i810
Intel i815 (tested by NOG)
# will NOT work
Intel i810 or later
(Intel i810 or later do not support Distributed DMA for legacy DMA support for PCI.
If you want SBPro function in pure DOS on Intel i8xx based motherboard, try Fortemedia FM801.
FM801's writeback DMA emulation method may work on Intel i8xx.)
