BINGO!!!! It's working -- changed to SB Audigy from Total recorder as the primary sound driver. Thanks a million!!

Tom -- I turned off the Jukebox and playlist and still the same problem. However, I do get sounds in GameEX when navigating. I'm using a Creative SB Audigy soundcard. Drivers are all updated. And-- I have version 9.0c DirectX.

I'm using MAME .94 and tried GameEX just now with version .91. Same problem. I don't get sound out of my MAME games. However, when I choose the "run last game" option, the game has sound. Help!

I should add that when I exit out of GameEX and choose the restart previous game command, my MAME games start up fine with sound. Anyone have any idea why this occurs? Tarsis

Hoping someone can help me out. I'm having trouble getting sound from my MAME games when using GameEX, even though I have MAME audio mode in the config settings set to pause playlist and run MAME with sound. Leaving the menu page when I select a game to play, the ROMS start fine but with no sound. Please advise!

I'm hoping someone can help me with my curious problem I'm having trouble getting sound from my MAME games when using GameEX, even though I have MAME audio mode in the config settings set to pause playlist and run MAME with sound. I get music on the menu page, but when I select a game to play, the music fades (as it should) and the game starts. However, the game has no sound. Please advise!
