Hmm, I've got some Ultima titles like that..

Audio hardware is a fairly typical old software/modern
hardware problem.

FWIW, I've never had much luck w/ non-creative cards
being used directly by programs that expect to
talk to creative cards..

However, if you've WinNT/2000/XP in the mix you
might try this: http://ntvdm.cjb.net/

(VMware is also a EXPENSIVE possiblity - but
its sound drivers are not 100%)

You might also try to see if someone has ported
Wolfenstein to some other platform you've access to.
(The source was release quite some time ago)

YMMV/etc, of course.

David

(Would a discussion of emulating 10yr old audio
hardware be considered on-topic?)
