More accurate: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Category:A30 DOS itself doesn't know anything about audio. So it doesn't need any audio drivers. Applications or games wishing to playback sound have to program the hardware directly (or use commercial libraries). This is a very expensive (time and/or money) task, so usually only AdLib, SoundBlaster, and Gravis UltraSound hardware is supported. According to the specs the CS4299 audio chip of the A30 is not compatible to any of the above standards, so you're (currently) out of luck. Japheth (<http://www.japheth.de/) told some month ago to write a driver to turn your AC'97 device into a SoundBlaster card, but this is a difficult task and unfortunately I don't see any progress there.

If you have an Ethernet Daughter Card (<http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Ethernet_Daughter_Card_%28EDC%29>) installed, Intel PRO 100 drivers could work.
