Sound drivers are Z80 binaries, which are in charge of playing music and sounds according to short commands issued by the 68k CPU.

They're the M1 ROMs or Z80 files. They contain the music and sample player code, as well as "tracker music" type data (often banked).

The Universe BIOS has a jukebox function that uses a database of music commands for every game.
