Is your sound card working? It could be a problem with your sound card drivers.

Have you installed the Mamewah system files?

Be sure you keep a consistent resolution, colour depth and refresh rate on all your emulators as you have on Mamewah. Dynamic resolution switching and high-demand graphics effects (interpolation etc. can cause errors when launching from Mamewah, particularly on low-spec PC's, in my experience.
