Never did that but i know what it's like to shell out for a sound card. I had painted myself into a corner with an actual PS/2 with work discounts for OS/2 dev. I could dual boot to DOS but games suck without sound. After years of looking finally found a microchannel soundblaster compatible card by Piper Research (or something like that). Paid whatever was asked. Worked as advertized. Money did by happiness in this case.
