Attract mode causes audio to quit working

[Deadly]

I've had this issue as far back as I can remember so GameEx version is sort of irrelevant. The audio works fine until Gameex kicks on to attract mode. Once that happens the audio is dead (not muted either). I have to exit out og GameEx and then open GameEx again and it's fine. I've had a total of 3 motherboards in this arcade (2) Intel D955XBk and (1) D975XBX2. All 3 boards have had fresh load of WINXP 32 bit and I've also tried XP 64 bit with the same exact issue. All drivers are current as well as the BIOS's were made current. I just don't have a clue how to make this minor annoyance dissapear. The only common factor is that both board types use Soundmax chipsets. Hell I dunno any ideas?
