Great Cd that,

but the sound issues suck and trying to resolve them sometimes takes forever.
There is KnoppixMame and Advanced CD.

Give them a try if you can't sort out Fraggals CD.

Good luck!

Try Knoppix.
It's a 'live' OS.

Means you can run without even having a HDD cos everything is installed on the CD. You can even install it on a flash device which you plug into any PC and reboot and it becomes an instant arcade machine, well sorta.

What is the model number of your souncard? (example: CT4790)  It might not work in pure Dos mode. 
This site (http://www.mameworld.net/dosmame/compatibility.php) (http://www.mameworld.net/dosmame/compatibility.php) may help.  There is a list of common soundcard issues halfway down.

Sounds like you might have hardware problems.  Fraggal's boot CD works well when you have supported hardware.  Install the most basic configuration you can get away with to minimize variables.
