Hi Jon,
some extra details: There was a VBE sound BIOS extension, but basically nobody used it, in any case no games I know. And there was a project to create a virtual soundblaster, which is mirrored on https://auersoft.eu/soft/by-others/ but it is more like a draft of implementing some very basic functionality. In the general case, it is a lot better to use dosbox or dosemu which specifically have "simulate a soundblaster and output the sound using the drivers of the host operating system" as features while also simulating other DOS friendly hardware and adding a lot of DOS related extras which generic virtual PC type software would not offer. As far as I remember, VSB uses built-in protected mode code to trap soundblaster I/O, making it incompatible to protected mode / DOS extenders / EMM386, but it could be modified to use EMM386-provided I/O trapping. Which in turn is not yet supported by the EMM386 in FreeDOS.
