Open the Task Manager and go to the App history tab, anything on there that's been hogging CPU time other than SSF?

Any idea what "Support" is?

Any idea what "Support" is? It's the Lenovo support app. I probably accidently accessed it from the start menu and immediately exited it. It only ran for 19 seconds. I went back in it to verify and exited out again. It added five more seconds to the app's total CPU time, bringing it up to 24 seconds. I don't use any apps with Win8. I don't even use Win8's crappy new interface. I immediately installed ClassicShell when I first got the computer eight months ago and haven't looked back since.

I thought App history showed desktop apps too but no apparently you're right it's just tiles.
Not much point using Win8 tiles without a touch screen though there are some free games in the store that are worth checking out. Btw Start8 is closer to the Windows 7 start menu and is only a buck or two.
Maybe use a tool like Driver Scanner and check see if there's an updated driver for your sound card?

Updated sound and video drivers. No effect.

Buy a Saturn and a CRT.

Haha... I've got three, but the idea was to record footage of Saturn games for my YouTube channel using SSF. Seeing as how I've used SSF on two other PCs over the years without any problems, I figured that plan would be fine. Evidently not... Well anyway, thanks for trying!

The emulator seems to run just fine, since nothing stalls in the game. Galactic Attack uses CDDA music, so my guess is that the CD image you use is badly ripped. A very common issue.

I've used a couple different images of the same games. It's all the same no matter what. Also, I used to be able to play these exact same images with no problems whatsoever. One day they just started skipping.

Regardless of that can you play the audio tracks in any other application without them starting to skip around?

Then the problem is either in your cd image or your virtual cd software.
