DOS Mode Sound Driver for the emulated ES1371 not initalizing.

I'm running Workstation Pro 16 on an Windows 11 host and when I've installed the drivers for the ES1371 card, the initialization utility (SBINIT.COM) fails to intialize the Sound Blaster 16 emulation of the card, with the error message: "Could not allocate code/patch RAM below 4 Mbyte boundary." The VM has 128 MB of RAM assigned to it.

I've attached below the AUTOEXEC.BAT.  CONFIG.SYS is empty.
