what model do you sell?

the only one that has soundblaster support in dos is the "IBM 3D SOUND" Pcmcia card, very few have sold, and they are 500usd or more.

the reason is, pcmcia (not cardbus) on the old laptops does not have DMA, IBM patented the idea of emulating DMA, likely the reason no other cards came about during the short window when people wanted this feature.

so if you have an old laptop, and it does not have built in audio and you want to play in dos, you dont have many options.

here is a good overview of this era of cards:
