uh... I'm 99% sure vdmsound is for windows NT.

Let's go back to the beginning.
1) does sound work in windows?
2) what game?

AFIK dos sound within windows kinda 'just worked'. Maybe the blaster variable needs to be set but that's it.

1 - YES;
2 - on Doom I & II, Heretic (3D games)

but not on 2D games.... i belive that i must set the SoundBlaster options on Autoexec.but... not all 2D games have sound options(IRQ\DMA\others)

What? Why?
Uninstall vdmsound. It's for Nt.
Delete whatever trash you've added to autoexec.
Start windows.
Open dos window.
Run doom setup
Select sound blaster.
Test.
Hear anything?
