Q: The sound stutters.
A: You're using too much cpu power to keep DOSBox running at the current speed.
* You can either lower the cycles or skip frames or get a faster machine.
* You can also increase the prebuffer in the configfile.
Q: What sound hardware does DOSBox presently emulate?
A: DOSBox emulates several legacy sound devices:
* - Internal PC speaker
* * This emulation includes both the tone generator and several forms of
* * digital sound output through the internal speaker.
* - Creative CMS/Gameblaster
* * The is the first card released by Creative LabsŪ.* The default
* * configuration places it on port 0x220.* It should be noted that enabling
* * this with the Adlib emulation may result in conflicts.
* - Tandy 3 voice
* * The emulation of this sound hardware is complete with the exception of
* * the noise channel, which is not very well documented and as such is only
* * a best guess as to the sound's accuracy.
* - Adlib
* * Borrowed from MAME, this emulation is almost perfect and includes the
* * Adlib's ability to almost play digitized sound.
* - SoundBlaster 16/ SoundBlaster Pro I & II /Sound Blaster I & II
* * Coupled with the Adlib, by default DOSBox provides Soundblaster 16
* * level 16-bit stereo sound. You can select a different SoundBlaster
* * version in the configfile of DOSBox (See Internal Commands: CONFIG).
* - Disney Soundsource
* * Using the printer port, this sound device outputs digital sound only.
* - Gravis Ultrasound
* * The emulation of this hardware is nearly complete, though the MIDI
* * capabilities have been left out since an MPU-401 has been
* * emulated in other code.
* - MPU-401
* * A MIDI passthrough interface is also emulated.* This method of sound
* * output will only work when used with a General Midi or MT-32 device.

I suggest you try another sound device if you can't manage to make it work with Soundblaster default configuration. Increasing the prebuffer could also solve the stuttering problem, but I'm not sure how to do that.
