FDOS works fine, but Old Games not! (Users)

You provided too few information about your DOS environment. I suppose that you did a clean install of FreeDOS and you have not modified the files FDCONFIG.SYS and FDAUTO.BAT
It seems to be some misunderstanding between your hardware and memory management (the UMB/HMA/XMS/EMS stuff)
For first step try to launch some game or application which does not use sound but only graphic mode.
If you have the possibility to select several memory configuration options during boot try them.
Or you can show us your FDCONFIG.SYS and FDAUTO.BAT files.
