VDMSound2.1.0 (from VOGONS)

VDMSound2.1.0.exe (from the Sierra Help Pages)

VDMSound provides sound support to DOS applications and games, overcoming what has probably been the most exasperating limitation of Windows NT's DOS -- sound support. VDMSound emulates an MPU-401 interface (for outputting high-quality MIDI music), a SoundBlaster compatible (SB16, SBPro 2, SB2, SBPro, etc.) implementation (for digital sound effects and FM/AdLib music), as well as a standard game-port interface (for playing games with joystick support).

VDMSound includes DirectSound support and incorporates full FM/AdLib emulation. VDMSound is easy to use and integrates with Windows Explorer as a shell extension (you will be able to right-click on your DOS game executable that you wish to start (any .exe, .com or .bat), and select "Run with VDMS")
