Sonic Mega Collection + for Xbox: Skipping sound?

I got Sonic Mega Collection Plus for Xbox and the sound (music?) skips every two minutes or so, or when changing songs. It's rather annoying. What's going on? Problem with my copy or known problem?
 
Not sure about the XBox version, but the PS2's sound emulation was off quite a bit. Didn't notice skipping though.
 
Which game, or does it matter? Or just in-menu?

I noticed it had a few issues with emulating some of the distortion effect tricks games like Comix Zone used, but nothing along the lines of what you described.

It does that with every game in the collection. The audio will repeatedly cut off and come back on for 2-3 seconds, and then come back to normal. It's rather annoying.
 
if it does it with every game at any point in the game I'd say it was your system...or the game copy may be bad. I've had SMC+ since it came out and haven't noticed any major sound problems (aside from the odd tone every now and then)...beaten Sonic 1-3 so far.

Let's hear it for shitty-ass, carelessly compiled emulation packs. Yay retrogaming.
 
The same game runs great on the GameCube, which is a miracle consider how slapped together the whole thing is. Hell, Sonic 2 had slow down on Sonic Jam for the Saturn, hence I got SMC in the first place.
