Vast majority of DOS software only supports ISA sound cards...
however, there's a few programs with native support for newer hardware: PCI, PCIe, USB, and onboard chips acting as PCI devices...

Live! Module Player
Mpxplay
QuickView Pro - with external drivers

Anything else?

SBEMU and VSBHDA

There's the JUDAS audio / mixing / tracker playback library, which has support for SB, GUS and Intel ICH AC97 audio codecs:

Mplayer a linux cli movie player DOS port.

Some DOS software that I know that supports post-ISA sound devices:

• QDOS, Q2DOS and Hammer of Thyrion source ports for Quake, Quake II and Hexen II respectively, by using libraries from MPXPLAY.
• DOSSound by Georg Potthast.
• Tangentially related and not possible in pure DOS, but Open Cubic Player comes with a sound driver that uses DirectX API which can be used when running within a Windows 9x environment.

DirectSound for QuickBasic allows QB45 DOS programs to access Windows' DirectSound API (DX3 or higher) l.
So it's an hardware-independent sound library for DOS programs, essentially. 😉

Well, that would also include all the ISA SB emulation software bundled with many PCI sound cards...

Almost all the ISA SB emulation software would not qualify as "supporting newer hardware" if the hardware in question (and its bundled software) is at least 20 years old, IMHO. To be fair, you did write [1], but as I understand it now, you apparently meant only actual end user applications (games, audio players, etc) rather than TSRs/drivers/emulation layers/middlewares.
