There appears to be a sound issue with the galaxian driver; Moon Cresta/Galaxian both jumping.

Anyone else experiencing this?

I am not experiencing this behavior. Without more information, I can only guess your computer cannot handle the discrete sounds added over the years to these games.

I shouldn't have a problem with a X4 620 Athlon processor with 8gb RAM; this seems to be a problem recently surfaced.

When playing Galaxian the shooting sound sometimes comes in late as if there is an interruption.

When you press F11 does the speed drop from 100% when the sound skips?

If so it might be related to this thread :

Ok I've found the culprit - I had triple buffering set - speed stayed at 99%. Now 100% with no sound jumping. This is strange as I've used this setting as my default to prevent screen tearing (e.g. in Bank Panic).

Could an upgrade to Win 8 be the reason as I have to use the default windows graphics driver for my ATI Radeon 4600 (Catalyst no longer supports my card)???

EDIT: Setting triple buffer for Bank Panic makes it run at 98% with sound jumps. Any ideas? My processor runs at 2.6 Ghz

You sure it's not a screen refresh rate problem on your monitor? Those run at 60.606061 Hz.

Under MAME.INI
Instead of setting this...

# FULL SCREEN OPTIONS
#
triplebuffer 1


Leave it like this...

# FULL SCREEN OPTIONS
#
triplebuffer 0


And try setting this instead...

# WINDOWS VIDEO OPTIONS
#
waitvsync 1


See if that works for you.
