Sound issue in MAME

HI
I am experiencing some strange sound effects with my favourite game Phoenix.
I have overclocked my Pi2. Changed the audio out rate to 44100 and audio driver to sdl. Still not great.
Tried both Mame4all and advmame with the same results.

Has anyone else had any problems and have you solved them for this game.
Cheers

did you download the audio sample files for mame4all?
the link for them is near the bottom of this page.

What sound issues are you experiencing? I am using just the rom and no samples in Advmame (Retropie 2.6 and 3.0 beta) with no problems on both a RPi1 and Rpi2. Have you tried a different romset? Occasionally, I have found that a different romset corrects the sound issues in some games.

Thanks for the replies :)
Used Mame on PC's before but I am new to the Pi world and was not aware of the need to add audio samples. Will have to try that.
The sound issue I am experiencing with Phoenix is that noise the alien birds make does not match the PC running game. Infact the noise is annoying enough to stop playing the game.
I will try maybe a different rom set.
I may need re-educating though. In the past I have not worried about romsets in Mame on PC. Especially for some of the older games. I thought the roms where the same and the romsets may have fixed some issues aor added new games. Am I right?????
I do understand that Mame4All and Advmame only like specific version romsets though.

Cheers

I just tested mine against my PC Mame and some Youtube vids of phoenix and my sounds are consistent on all platforms. No audio samples are required that I can find. One other thing I thought of, are you using the audio out from the AV port? I use USB sound cards and the sound is much better in my opinion. Some sounds don't work to good through the AV port.
