Tempest annoying audio popping MAME172

It sounds like morse code. mainly on attract screen of Tempest, not as bad during game play but noticeable. Running ROM version appropriate for 172, have another ROM for 106 thats pop free but cannot get the spinner and trackball to play nice with each other and this is reason for trying newer ROM. In 172 spinner (and trackball) work but the audio pops are annoying. Going to try moving it to 203 in the morning, will update results then. Any suggestions helpful.
Update: 203 just as bad

Can confirm, Tempest has shockingly bad sound in 172 and 203. Not sure offhand why or what the fix may be...
In 3.x running Tempest in AdvMAME wihtout changing any settings will have it running in the new (to 3.X) version of AdvMAME. The config file for that one is /home/pi/advmame3.9-1/advmame.rc - I don't have both a spinner and trackball to test but that's the file to configure for Tempest in AdvMAME on 3.X...

Yes that is the file but what others have suggested settings to be do not work, still cannot get spinner to be seen.
