Check the Readme file. Also look for a CTCM.exe file. This usually sets up the sound card for dos sessions.

If there's an .inf file in the root directory, use control panel to install the drivers, and click Have Disk.

From the readme file (mine anyway);
==================================================
3. DOS ENVIRONMENT SETTINGS

Some of the existing DOS programs require the presence of MIDI and
SOUND environments in order for them to work. The Setup program will
add the SET MIDI and SET SOUND environment lines at the beginning of
the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.


4. DOS AUDIO DRIVER SUPPORT UNDER WINDOWS 95 DOS BOX

Some of the DOS applications are developed with Creative's Sound
Blaster Developer Kit. These applications require the low-level
DOS audio device drivers to be loaded. To load the DOS audio
drivers, you need to add the following lines to the CONFIG.SYS file:

DEVICE=\DRV\CTSB16.SYS /UNIT=0 /BLASTER=A:220 I:5 D:1 H:5 /WIN95
DEVICE=\DRV\CTMMSYS.SYS

Remarks:

a. is the sound directory where the audio software is located.

b. The /BLASTER parameter specifies the Sound Blaster base I/O port
address (A), interrupt request line (I), low 8-bit DMA channel (D)
and high 16-bit DMA channel (H).

c. The settings in the /BLASTER parameter must tally with the actual
settings allocated by Windows 95. To find out the actual settings,
go into Windows 95 DOS box, and type SET and press at the
DOS prompt. You will see one of the lines displayed is:

BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 H5 P330 T6

The values after the A, I, D and H are the actual settings to be
used for the /BLASTER parameter.

To help you set up the DOS audio drivers, we have prepared a text
file CONFIG.TXT in the sound directory. This text file contains
the above lines to specify the DOS audio drivers. The sound
directory in the text file had been updated by the installation
program. You just need to update the /BLASTER parameter and copy
the lines into the CONFIG.SYS file.
==================================================
Hope this helps.
