dosemu needs a recent enough kernel (something like >= 4.1),
SDL2, not-so-recent fluidsynth (not from git) and ladspa (optional).
With these it will provide quite good sound/video capabilities.
See dosemu2.spec.in for a more complete list of dependencies.
Then you can check those with any distro you have.

dosbox has a good sound support too.
It is likely your fault that it doesn't work for you.
dosemu2 has the slightly more advanced sound stack (with microphone
support) but dosbox emulates more sound cards (dosemu2 is limited
to sb16).
