Site is fine here, just go to downloads, look for the Windows version, select a mirror and wait for a few seconds...

Sorry, but your posts are incredibly hard to read for the lack of capitalization and strange words being used...

Anyway, there are two posts right on the Dosbox site which deal with exactly the same problem. Here they are:
Quote:
I was able to run, although sound wasn't 100% perfect, this game using D-fend and choosing the following: Sound: "sb1" CPU Core "Full" Render "Surface" Full Screen and Double Buffer using DOSBox .62

Quote:
it works fine with dosbox 0.63 and an image mounted with daemon. for the sound, put in the autoexec folder of defend the string: SET ICOMSND=2 2 is for soundblaster. also i choose sb1 in the sound folder after that the sound is fine

Both quotes refer to the frontend D-Fend. They say exactly what to set where, so what exactly is the problem? 'sb1' is short for 'Soundblaster 1' I guess, but it doesn't really matter, does it? If you don't want to use a frontend, then just open the configuration file and choose 'sb1' as the soundcard to emulate.
