Summary 01759: jungleh, junglek: distorted sound when getting killed in the water
Description I noticed while playing one of my favorite games, Jungle King, that when I was killed on the second screen (water), that when I float up to the top of the water and it plays the sound of death, it seems distorted and possibly slighty faster than previous versions. I compared 0.124a with 0.124u4 and the 0.124a version sounds correct, the 0.124u4 version sounds different. I don't know precisely what 'u' build this started occuring in.
Steps To Reproduce Start a game and play through the first level (vine swinging) and when you get to the second screen and start swimming, and purposely run into a gator. You'll float to the top of the water and it'll play the sound in question.

If anything, judging by the recording attached (courtesy of coinopvideogames.com) as well as the MAME output of 0.124u4 - the audio output is much more faithful now than it was before since the updates to the AY8910 core. Many games are sounding much better, in fact.

I'll leave acknowledged pending input from others.

Alpine Ski (same hardware) now sounds identical to the pcb. Before the sound balance wasn't good.

I re-checked these games with the 0.124u5 release and the sound appears correct in this release. I know couriersud added some filters to the AY-8910 core in the .124u5 release, so I think this has fixed the sound descrepancy I noted earlier. In my opinion, this can be closed now.
