The sound effects being generated from the analog audio pcb do make it worthwhile for users updating even though audio of some games might be off for time being.

couriersud 's post from last year provides some explanation.

The clicking will hopefully get better going forward. These are actually just 10ns clicks
which a proper sampling should weight out. Such sampling just isn't currently
implemented. I am working on it. Kungfu Master is using the same sound board as kidniki.
What is missing is a switch where Channel C from the first AY8910 is connected to. That
will be added as well.

>Just wondered if there is an update on this.....has any progress been made with correcting this,

couriersud has been doing some recent netlist work over past several weeks that involves significant updates that could improve audio output of Irem m62 hardware games along with improvements of other games that do make use of netlist support. I am not sure if specific fixes to Kung Fu Master has been done yet. Still worth trying next MAME release or if able to make your own compile/build at this time (need a powerful computer to compile own build), check it out to see if couriersud's recent work has fixed things.
