What type of driver?  Windows 3.1 includes a MIDI driver for AdLib, and
it works.  There is a PD sound drive (for WAV files) which can be
retrieved from:

ftp.cica.indiana.edu:/pub/pc/win3/sounds/adlibw.zip

This file can be installed in parallel with the MIDI driver, allowing
digitized sound effects that sound a bit better than the PC speaker.

For playing ROL files while in Windows, try this shareware demo:

ftp.cica.indiana.edu:/pub/pc/win3/demo/fmdemo.zip

These drivers can be installed in parallel with the above.  A ROL file
player is included, and it's somewhat Windows-friendly.
