hogthreshold = 0 --- 99 % CPU hogthreshold = 1 --- quiet behaviour hogthreshold = 800 --- 99 % CPU
Correct.

hogthreshold commented out altogether --- quiet behaviour Mmm.. not very intuitive, this. Somewhere in the DOC's it says that hogthreshold should be related to the clock speed, and
the higher hogthreshold, the quieter dosemu gets.
This mistake of the docs was already fixed.

So you have applied some patches, havent you?
Well of course I did. The patch set posted yesterday by Bart Oldeman. Or isn't that what you mean?
Nope... The fact that you got any sound at all from Duke3D without an immediate hang, is something very unusual.
To get a sound from Duke3D and no hangs, this patch is a mandatory:
http://dosemu.sourceforge.net/stas/dpmi_sti4a.diff
Also read the comments about an adjustments you have to make to dosemu.conf after applying it.
You are the first person who got even an intro with sound without that patch...
This doesn't explain a Wolf's problem however.
What version of Wolf do you have? (it is written in the bottom-right corner of the screen where it is hanging for you).
Tested with Wolfenstain V1.1 and Spear of Destiny V1.0.
Do you have the same?
Also please produce a log of a sound events (-D9+S) and mail it to me compressed, and maybe I'll see the problem.

Extra info: I use ms-dos 6.00. Maybe that's relevant.
No idea. I am using a PC-DOS 7.0 which is a functional clone of MS-DOS 6.22 (or around it).
Try bypassing the config.sys and autoexec by pressing F5 at startup. Maybe that will help.
