Duriel death via lag often functions much the same way as most stair traps do - the automatic slowdown when you enter a new area gives the monsters a head start in doing whatever they have planned. Best advice I can give is have a throwaway minion/merc handy to absorb the initial charge.
I believe there actually are gimmicks you can add to the startup process to make the game run without sound effects and/or music, but you'd need someone more familiar with that sort of thing to get it to work.
