I remember this game gave me a lot of headaches even when I was using real ms-dos. I also remember it had a control panel for selecting different soundcards.

What soundcard do you have? You should try booting into real ms-dos and run it from there.

Works for me using DOSBox but sound it's not as good as I remember it. Maybe it's some wrong setting in DOSBox. Other than that, it works.

For that old of a computer if your going to want to run games that worked in 9x but don't work or don't work well in XP then your gonna have to do a dual-boot. If it was me? I'd buy a new computer, dedicate that old 400mhz to 9x and be done with it.

I ran XP fine on a 450MHz system a couple years ago, but there's no way I would reasonably expect to be able to run anything in DOSBox on it (except maybe for very very old games). VDMSound and/or dual-booting is really the only way to go on that slow of a CPU.
