Virtual computers and dosemu / dosemu2 all do simulate a sound card and I am pretty sure dosbox also simulates one. The problem is that your games use the simulated sound card to make SOUNDS and the actual sounds have to somehow reach your REAL hardware :-) Which is why the host operating system needs drivers for your real hardware and your dosbox has to be able to use the host operating system for that...
