> I have upgraded to Audigy Gamer card. New games work well, but old DOS games > have no sound. Is there a special driver or program that is know to anyone? I don't think DOS sound is supported by the Audigy series. I mean, come on now, it was ten years or more since the games you mention were released. :) There are ways around your problem, one is to install a soundblaster emulator, and the other is to play an updated source port of your games. I'd recommend the second option, as the updated ports typically allow 3D card acceleration, updated graphics etc. You can find a DOS sound emulator here: http://ntvdm.cjb.net/ and one of the best, if not the best Doom/Heretic/Hexen source ports here: http://www.doomsdayhq.com/
