Use DOSBox, it provides the game with an emulated PC speaker device, which is mapped to your normal soundcard output.

How ya doing, buddy?

YI'm not a huge fan of DOSBox, but if there's no other way I'll do it. Thanks for the replies/solution guys.
Why is that? It's easy to setup, very powerful and compatibility is quite good. Letting very old game run natively on current hardware is generally a bad idea, because of timing issues.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Uhmmmm, you know that even on Windows you have the possibility to script things?!?

I'm currently using DOSBox to play BlueBytes' Albion. I can run it with a simple doubleclick. Executes DOSBox with a custom configure script and proceeds to load the game executable inside the emulator.
I really don't see your problem...

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I'm not sure I get what you're trying to say boris?!

I didn't say it provides 100% compatibility, so what' exactly your problem?

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

lol?

You don't need to read a book to set this up correctly. Taking a quick look into the DOSBox wiki is already a good start:
Dosbox.conf - DOSBoxWiki

Just add the needed commandline strings to the [autoexec] section and you're done. Fire up DOSBox with the config file and it works.

I just don't get it how some people deny functionality of software simply because they didn't bother to look just 5 minutes into the documentation.

I acknowledge that DOSBox isn't the easiest emulator to setup. But it's a one-time thing and once it works, it just works

I was speaking idiomatically.
