Hello all,
just to report that experiencing sound missing effects in games like Windjammers or Neo Turf Masters on the NEOGEO CD core I just found out that reverting to a 2019 core the problem is fixed. Just did in Windows and I’d love to fix it on my rg35XX+ device with MUOS.

This is most easily reproducible by loading the attract mode ("DEMONSTRATION" in… the main menu) but seemingly happens in other areas too. CD audio is unaffected.
The "ANNOUNCEMENT" in-game option is turned on for good measure; when it's set to off, sound effects are properly disabled after starting a game.

### Expected behavior

### No sound effects at all

* Sound effects for Nazca jingle/voice, golf ball being hit, and announcer saying the game's name are missing
### Glitched audio
Sound effects sometimes play back prematurely or are cut off early.

* Nazca jingle/voice timing is too quick

* A separate instance where the announcer's voice is cut off at the end

* Timing for the Nazca jingle is correct, but sounds pretty broken

I've also experienced sound effects not working correctly in the following places:
* Main menu
* Menu navigation/select sounds are sometimes missing, possibly easier to reproduce by resetting the game (by holding A+B+C and pressing Select)
* The menus for selecting your game type, character, and course when starting a game
* Voice + menu sound effects sometimes don't play back
* When entering a new hole
* The voice that says "_Hole no. 1; 426 yards; par 4_," etc. sometimes doesn't play back
* During main gameplay, after hitting the ball
* The announcer(s) voices skip/cut off too early
* This seems especially less common; I haven't been able to reproduce it yet.
Best!
