When running Theme Park, did you configure the game first?

Under default settings, DosBox emulates Sound Blaster 16. If you can't find that on the list of available options in the setup, tell me what other Sound Blaster types are present there.

You've got Sound Blaster 16 on both lists, try using that setting.
If that doesn't work, change soundcard emulation in DosBox.conf to Sound Blaster Pro 2 (sbpro2) and adjust the configuration accordingly. (more on dosbox.conf here).

As for saving the game... well, haven't played that one, so can't know for sure, but look around the menus. Often, the save/restore options use either a floppy or a computer for their icon.

I've been battling the same thing myself, but I got it working. I'm using D-Fend btw. The problem was a stupid one. The standard template for Theme Park has the "Activate Sound" checkbox unchecked (in DosBox terms, I think that means the "nosound" bool is set to "true"). I just checked it, and it worked.

The whole installation process is a bit weird, too, since it doesn't create a setup-file for you to execute, when you want to make changes to the sound settings. You have to run it from the CD every time.

Here's my working DosBox config file, generated by D-Fend:

# This DOSBox configuration file was automatically created by D-Fend Reloaded.
# Changes made to this file will NOT be transfered to D-Rend Reloaded profiles list.
# D-Fend Reloaded will delete this file from temp directory on program close.

# Command line used when starting DOSBox:
# -CONF "C:\Users\Jonas\AppData\Local\Temp\Theme Park.conf" -NOCONSOLE

# Config file for profile "Theme Park"
