Or would the onboard audio on socket 370 motherboards work fine?

Windows apps do not access the hardware directly. Only through abstraction APIs. If your sound card (or on-board sound chip) has drivers for Windows, then that should be all that you need. So TLDR; yes, Win95 sound drivers will enable Win3.1 apps to output sound when run under Win95, regardless of ISA/PCI.
