Has anyone had the problem where the sound in Mame games studders? It repeats everything twice like a echo. Driving driving, Me me, Nuts nuts......

This has been covered several times in the past, you need to tell MAME to use options to tell it to calm down in its sounds emulation a little.

You should find the options in the MAME32 help file under usage. There's also probably some info on the forum if you search. You need to add the settings in MAME options in Advanced Mame settings in GameEx config. Basic turn down the sample rate, dont resample, and turn up the lag.

In addition MAME32FX generally has better sound, so you can try that build.

I searched the forum and didnt come up with much. I tried a bunch of different phrases, but any way I seemed to have fixed it. I added a ATI 8500 to the machine instead of the on board video. Seems to have done the trick. Would I benifit from adding a sound card instead of the on board sound also? The cpu is a 2600 Athlon(low cache version) and a gig of ram.

I actually added the video card to make the new 3d transitions smooth, which it did It also fixed the sound issue as a bonus!
