Summary	02437: fromanc2, fromanc4: sound glitched
Description	Sound effects are repeating over and over when they shouldn't. especially after the "item selection screen" you can hear the "pick up tile" and "put tile on table" effects loop and mixing up with the correct sounds. Occasionally you can hear other random sound effects playing with no apparent reason. After a while this problem disappears for a few seconds only to reappear few seconds later.

Both screens issue sound regardless of what video orientation you've chosen in MAME. It's up to the game to decide to mute the other side, which in this case it doesn't seem to do. I would guess you are only using screen 0 and only see the one screen? The sound is coming from the other screen also (even if it's not being viewed) and is not matching up with what you are doing and that is why it appears the sound effects are random and sometimes you hear the duplication. The only real way in MAME to avoid the sound from the other screen interfering is to open the slider menu and choose the YM2610 Ch. 2 Volume and make it 0% effectively MUTING the 2nd screen.
