Game seems to freeze in DosBox 0.73 when Volume is off (using V hotkey to turn off volume in game) when an avalanche occurs (the avalanche in question is @ X = 15 Y = 8 in Map Sector C-2 (first outdoor area outside Sorpigal..

I managed to have the avalanche occur when sound was on without freezing the game.. so curious.

Nice find! Happens to me as well.

I guess the only solution is to switch off the sound using DosBox config file instead of the in-game V hotkey.

This is the first time I came across a case where switching the sound off causes the game to freeze. Usually it's the other way round that can happen.
