I tried AOS 2.40 with AdvancedMAME beta7 and while I like the changes to the interface I too am having problems I didn't have before with 2.36. I had the soundcard problem also and just like you, editing the mame.cfg file, I noticed it trashed a few lines that I restored.
However, I am getting a few unable to start emulation (or something like that) errors that when I quit AOS and type mame gamename work just fine. These games worked fine with AOS 2.36. Just a couple to name that don't work under AOS 2.40 for me: Galaga, Berzerk and 88Games. Funny that the complex Neo Geo games like Last Blade 2 and KOF98 work just fine.
Anyone else have this problem? I'll wait until AOS 2.41 comes out before I decide whether to go back to 2.36 or not.

: Hello all
: I had a problem that the scancodes were not "sticking". Also, it was not letting me select my soundcard. I directly edited mame.cfg (in your mame directory) to fix the soundcard, however, the remapped keys still were not "sticking". I reported this to Brian Lewis, and here is his reply:

: Hi,
: it's a bug which I've now fixed, I'm hoping to get 2.41 with this (and a few other fixes) very very soon.
: Speak to you later

: I still believe that Arcadeos ROCKS if you are using Dos and especially if you are using an arcade monitor. Thought I would pass this along in case anyone else had problems with 2.40
