Ok, was using the same cab for MMS that I used in all the other roms without any problems. It was Arcsoft Alltel MMS 5.0.69.44. Switched to ArcSoft 5.0.71.33 Alltel (with was a much bigger pita to set up) and the sound issues have gone away, at least for now.

Since I seem to be such a glutton for punishment, I downloaded MaxRootRomCombo02082010_23518 and am going to dance to that, I hope. I like those builds, and 2.5, so I'll give it a shot. If it all works out it should show that for some reason there's an incompatibility between your roms and that first arcsoft alltel cab.
