No audio on ms-dos 6.22

Post by Code Witcher »

Hi everyone,
is it a known issue that one can't play audio on ms-dos 6.22?
I tried doom, I believe I installed the right drivers for the soundblaster 16, and right configuration (dma, irq, etc), diagnosis at start up looks fine as well, still no sound.
I've been googling for the past two days, and I've seen a few posts with the same issue, but I couldn't find any solution.
Is there a guide I can follow to properly set this up?
Also, just what I tried, Doom, looks a bit choppy, it doesn't run smoothly.
I'm on a MacBook pro, i7, 16gb Ram.
Any ideas?

Installing additional Drivers in the VM may be counter-productive as support for SB16 is already built in.
