Fairly certain I was told audio code changed a bit in MAME .278. It also makes it fail if you Nahimic installed. To check you can go to Task Manager and look for it in the services tab. It's related to a Realtek Audio driver and causes all sorts of issues in a LOT of applications and should be disabled or removed from your computer all together.

Thanks for the reply. I opened Task Manager and checked the Services tab, but I don’t see anything named Nahimic. However, I do have Realtek audio drivers installed  should I uninstall those?

That I can't really say, I know disabling Nahimic doesn't stop audio from working on your computer, but unsure if removing their entire driver suite would stop it or not. Don't want to tell ya to do so and have it blow up in both our faces.

The MAME 0.278 sound issue with some setups appears to be undergoing a fix which should be in 0.279.

By the way, my laptop uses Realtek Audio and sound works ok with MAME 0.278.

I had the same problem. My temporary fix for games is:

Open a game, hit tab for settings, change the audio mixer for the game to point to another source. My audio automatically in 0.278 goes to Real Tek Audio. When I change it to my NVIDIA High Definition Audio source, it works.

If someone has a better method, let me know. Or I'll just wait until 0.279
