Hi! To play sound on HDA or AC97 sound hardware, try
MPXPLAY: http://mpxplay.sourceforge.net/ It is freeware
with source code and supports quite many modern chips
and plays many popular multimedia file formats 
Of course this will not help your old GAMES, so if you
want to have sound from those, you will probably have
to run DOS in some sort of emulator inside another OS.
For example DOSBOX in Windows, DOSEMU2 in Linux or one
of the generic "complete simulated computer" softwares.
Remember that sound drivers are not part of DOS itself,
they are something which is part of the different apps
which want to produce sound. Those often expected SB16.
Volkert de Busonjé has a collection of sound related
software working towards to getting sound with old
apps on new hardware, but I think some connections
between the building blocks are still missing? Maybe
you already are lucky, please try and share thoughts:

PS: You may have to use the free, closed source PnP
sound chip activator UNISOUND, which is also nice for
classic DOS PnP soundcard variants because you could
skip brand specific startup drivers with UNISOUND:

But I think for HDA/AC97, MPXPLAY itself is enough.
