   Something similar like your TSR could have been done before.   
   I was just fiddling with my ChipChat, which is SB compatible and generally a   
   similar ISA-to-MCA conversion, when I noted that DOOM crashes at startup with   
   the known stack overflow.   
   Then on the Install Disk 1 I found DOSMIXER.EXE and DOSMIXER.DOC, which   
   suggests:   
   "DOSMIXER -M15 -F10 -W15 -I0 -G   
              same as previous example, Except also sets up the sound card   
              for the "special game" setting.   
      
              Some DOS games require the sound card to be initialized to a   
              special state.  If you encounter any issues running a DOS   
              game run the "DOSMIXER" with the "-G" option.  Games like   
              "DOOM" and "HERETIC" require this setting.  Games such as   
              "Rise of the Triad" do not.  For the games that require the   
              "-G" option, we suggest you put the DOSMIXER statement in   
              a batch file to run the particular game."   
      
   After running DOSMIXER -G, DOOM starts fine.   
   OPL3 sound (internal FM synth) is still distorted due to the other thing you   
   found out, but the external wavetable is just fine.   
   I didn't look into DOSMIXER.EXE through the disassembler goggles, but it might   
   do something similar and was probably forgotten about.   
      
   For Raptor though, it does not clear the startup issues, the SB remains   
   "undetected".
