You probably refer to AC97 or HDA compatible sound hardware.
Some newer media players for DOS support various chips in
this category, but old games do not. You can not modify the
old game usually and DOS does not have drivers for sound:

The driver is part of the game. If you want to use an old
game with sound on modern hardware, you usually need to use
DOS inside a virtual machine which simulates an old sound
card such as SoundBlaster. There are both general virtual
machines and DOS specific ones. An example of the latter
is DOSEMU2 (most distros still use the older DOSEMU branch)
for Linux :-) If you only have Windows 10, then have a look
at DOSBOX which simulates part of an old PC and simulates
DOS itself, but you can also install more of FreeDOS in it.
Or try a generic VM such as VMWare, VirtualBox, Bochs, QEMU.

Have fun :-) Cheers, Eric

PS: Win10 does not support ancient soundcards which DOS games did.
