DOS ain't dead

Also some recent DOS ports of games like Quake
> I/II, Doom, Hexen II... using libau should play on HDA too.

Please elaborate. Where to find these modern DOS ports of Doom I / II, Quake, Hexen II which actually support HDA sound? I've got a version of doom which supports higher resolutions than 320x200, but it still won't give HDA sound. I found a recent Quake 2 DOS port, and it appears like it might support PCI sound, but haven't been successful yet. I'd love to play all of these games again after 25+ years, on a modern system, with full, quality sound at high resolution in plain DOS! If there are modern DOS ports which support HDA sound, then this dream is possible...

How about Duke Nukem 3D? I looked up libau but didn't get any good results. I know my laptop sound card (Realtech, on an I7-5600u broadwell chipset) supports HDA as Mpxplay produces beautiful sound from it. It's one of the only "modern" laptops that I have that actually will work with HDA output in Mpxplay.
