Versions 1.2 through 1.6 do not work under OS/2 unless you restrict
them to pc-speaker sound effects. Version 1.1 will work perfectly
with your sound card.
Maybe iD plans to fix the sound problems for version 1.666, which is
due out any day now and will be the final release of Doom. If not,
there will be an OS/2 native version of Doom eventually.
I have heard that the WinDoom beta, which requires win32s, runs well
under OS/2 Warp beta. This implies that you will be able to run
WinDoom when it comes out, as long as you upgrade to the next version
of OS/2.
