Does that laptop by chance happen to have a CardBus slot? Some companies were still equipping laptops with CardBus in 2008 instead of switching to ExpressCard, or using both, like Lenovo. If you have a CardBus slot, then it may be possible to use a PCMCIA soundcard from the 90's for DOS games.

Hi, I was wondering if it were possible to disable the internal speaker of the pc through Freedos. The problem is I installed freedos for retrogaming on a 2008 acer laptop, dual booting it alongside ubuntu with grub2. Obviously there are no DOS drivers for my sound card, but I don't mind
