Greg-- you're writing this at almost the same time that Microsoft has
officially dropped support for Win98. (Actually, that will happen in
July 11).

Getting sound back in old DOS games may take a bit of work.

1) Did it work previously? If so, what changed? Is it changed for all
DOS games or just some? One?

2) Is there a configuration file or program for the game? Many old DOS
games have an Install.exe file in the program folder that lets the user
choose between a small number of sound cards, for instance. (Usually
choosing Sound Blaster is the best bet). If so, open a DOS window and
run that program again, letting it re-set its settings.

3) Have you tried booting to MSDOS Mode? Booting to a DOS floppy? For
some games, it may be easiest to create a custom boot floppy, perhaps
including DOS drivers for your sound card (or links to drivers
physically located on your hard drive).

Anyway, it's hard to be more specific since you included so little
information-- either about what game or games are affected, whether they
worked before, and what you may have changed or tried to make them work.
You've got to give more information to get more specific information
back.
