What happened?

The game Zool 2 have no sound at all (music or sound effects) and also it is not detected (options grayed out).
The Zool game just freeze after the title screen that says "Gremling"

I tested 3 different VMs:

-a 486 DX/2 66 Mhz with Aztech Clinton
-a Pentium 66 machine with SB AWE 32
-a 386 DX/40 with SB 2.0.
All VMs have its own DOS/Windows sound drivers installed.

The games work fine on the latest release of DOSBox-X:

Here I upload the 386 DX/40 VM and the games:
386 DX.zip

Zool 1-2:
Zool 1-2.zip

Note: to start Zool 2 run ZOOL2_K.EXE and use any number code then press enter.
