@cyclone3d
But why? Are you building a cabin out of old sound cards?
PS - I have had at least 15 on that list over the years
The sad reality is that if the seller went for cheap, then everyone would be shouting "fake".Yay.. another overpriced Adlib card.

I remember having several of those Turtle Beach Sound cards. To me they sounded a hellluva lot better than Creative's Sound Blasters.
I still have my Turtle Beach Santa Cruz (PCI). In it's day (circa 2001), it was a very competent and all around good alternative to Creative's. It could do both EAX and A3D, 6 channels, 48khz, SPDIF, gameport/midi... pretty much checked all the boxes at the time. The drivers were half decent, but TB were known to have buggy drivers. However, I rarely ran into any problems with this particular model.I remember having several of those Turtle Beach Sound cards.

Personally, I prefer the MIDI modules over sound cards. Roland MT-32 on a Windows 10 machine FTW.
Using DOSBOX and SoftMPU?
DOSBox. Unless I’m using SofMPU and didn’t realize it? For a little while I ran DOS 6.22 on an old Pentium 4 1.7 GHz. Lol. I had to use a TSR to use the MT-32 properly but it worked just fine.
Good lord, I remember the PAS16 (Pro Audio Spectrum 16). As I recall it was a pretty decent card with Sound Blaster Pro compatability - so basic 8-bit stereo for most games unless they directly supported the PAS16.
Those truly were the golden years for us old fart PC enthusiasts.
I'd love to be able to go back in time to 1990 and show myself what PC Gaming would be like in thirty years!
