Monster Racers Freeze.

I am playing Monster Racers on my NO$GBA emulator and so far I have had no real problems dealing with the game but I am at a point now where I am at this beach area (Where you need to use the currents to move from one place to the next) and at one point I try to go to the next screen using the currents and the top screen shows nothing while allowing the bottom screen to continue to play, such as showing your monsters and such.I want to know if there is a way to get around that.

Nevermind, I fixed it. Just a simple thing, turning on the sound.

really? sound on? that's all? guess there was one thing I didn't try...yay for looking at the forums, now to see if that works for me.EDIT: didn't work for me. it still blacks out when I try to leave the first room, I re-installed and re-downloaded and everything I could think of, but it won't work for me.
