Dos sound compatibility problems on XP

[Karsis]

I happen to enjoy playing a lot of older games on my
computer. Namely Doom and all it's clones, X Com, Dungeon
and Dragons collection, Dark Forces I, ect. Now of these
only the ID games seem to work consistantly when it comes
to sound and music with my system that uses XP. Is there
anyway that I can configure my sound card and the system
if need be to get the music and sound effects to run?
