Okay I've determined that it is related to my soundcard.  I'm using a Lynx 
One (http://lynxone.com/lynxone.html) which is a studio sound card.  I also 
have a Soundblaster 16 installed which I just use for the Cuttle Cart, and 
the new Z26 sound works okay on it.

To be a bit more descriptive, the Z26 sound on the Lynx One has sort of a 
slapback echo effect.  The DSP switch doesn't have any effect.  I've never 
had compatibility problems with this sound card before though (MAME32, Sid 
players, MESS, mp3 players, etc.)

In light of this, having a switch to disable sound might be a good idea.
