Yes, AICA adpcm is the same than YMZ280B, I've done the Chankast AICA emulation and it works fine.
Are you decoding "online" from an emulator or just a stream stored in a file? volume changes often happen when you miss an adpcm sample, if you are resampling, keep in mind that you can't just skip apdcm samples, you must process all samples even if they don't get written to the output buffers due to the resampling.
