Just to understand your setup:
- do you try to run the games in pure DOS or in a Win98 DOS window/ 
fullscreen session?
- I don't know if it only applies to ISA-PNP card or also to PCI:
Is a PNP configuration manager program installed which applies all  
ressources to the card after bootup? (Interrupts, IO ports etc.)
- Does the DIAGNOSE tool from the SoundBlaster driver set output digital  
sounds and also MIDI sounds? The first part would provide sound effects in  
games and the other part provides music, usually.
- Is the BLASTER variable set correctly?
- Which sound card settings are active in the game?

I guess these are the settings I remember :)

Regards,
Anna
