How to fix sound lag in PCem emulator? In Windows Explorer in Windows 98 sound clicks two times instead one time. Windows startup sound also lag with faster CPU. In Windows Me and 2000 it's the same. Bad emulator?

they offer support and bug report thru their website it seems
https://pcem-emulator.co.uk/phpBB3/

and they seems active and also they will likely know if
Does GPU influence in PCem emulator or only CPU?

or if (although unlikely)
Bad emulator?

also

I can play Need for Speed 2 and 3 and other old games with nGlide and dgVoodoo in Windows 10. Midtown Madness 1 works perfect with dgVoodoo. Carmageddon 1 it's GOG game.

For Need for Speed 1 i'm using DOSBox. Need For Speed: High Stakes and Need for Speed: Porsche Unleashed works great in Windows 10. GP500 also works perfect with nGlide. Best games ever.
