I got the time to try the DOS package of DOSBox-X 0.83.7 on an old computer that has the SB AWE ISA sound card. The computer is old so DOSBox-X loads and runs very slowly. But it does boot up successfully and I am able to type commands in its DOS shell just fine. Since the computer is slow I am not able to test the sound inside DOSBox-X, but the DOS sound driver for the sound card is correctly set up and loaded and I can hear sound from other DOS programs. So the DOS package does indeed work here with the SB AWE ISA sound card.
