*I did not record these.* The music was recorded by others, who have generously uploaded recordings for many different sound cards.

Here are some nice websites made by sound card enthusiasts:

amoretro.de - A German site with lots of information on old hardware. Has some sound card recordings.
wavetable.nl - Many sound card recordings of games like DOOM, Duke Nukem 3D, Descent, and more.
