I can't play it with sound either :(
Probably because the height of technology back then was a 16-bit soundblaster. The music works though, oddly enough. Just not the sounds/voices :(

yeah it`ll be using old DOS drivers that Windows won`t emulate
you might have a bit of luck using something like vmware and running e.g. win98 inside it

I seem to remember there being a website somewhere
that allowed you to play old Lucasarts games somehow - using Virtual Scumm or something.. i think...

there's a link and info here, also info on BASS - possibly the best game in the world - ever.
