Correct.

This mistake of the docs was already
fixed.

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.

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.
