I suggest elimiting AOS first. Just use Dmame and make sure the sounds works there, then worry about the other one.

The Creative Labs PCI cards are awful in DOS.  You might have better luck with a different card.

What kind of motherboard do you have?  Verify that the IRQ and DMA are free in the bios before you allocate them.  You might need to turn off Pnp OS and configure the IRQs yourself.

Good luck

The PCI 128 Vibra is emulating a "real" SoundBlaster in software, so all of the settings need to be "just right".
