Shield TV Question

I have a Shield TV and am trying to emulate some gamecube games. The graphics are fine but the audio consistently stutters on every game I try. This is with no graphic upscaling by the way.

I would have though that the Shield TV was powerful enough to handle gamecube dolphin emulation (as long as I'm not trying to upscale graphics). Is this not the case? If it is what are some setting tweaks I should consider to try to get more reliable performance? Thanks.

The aging CPU is the one limiting factor of the Shield. Don´t expect demanding games to run nice.
Rig 1: Windows 10 Home | AMD A6-1450 @ 600/1000/1400 MHz | AMD Radeon HD Graphics 8250 | 4GB RAM | HP Pavilion TouchSmart 11.

Rig 2: Windows 10 Pro | Intel Core i7-2640M @ 780/2800/3500 MHz | Intel HD 3000 Mobile | 8GB RAM | Dell Latitude 6320.

Anything I can connect to my television which can run Dolphin with better results?  Or is it just relatively high end PC's?  I'd be open to buying a more technically superior version of a Shield TV.

Just PCs.

not even relatively high end PCs.

Any decently clocked haswell class or newer CPU with an OS that isn't Android (Or MacOS I suppose) will be better than the shield TV by leaps and bounds.

This should run most games perfectly fine... Just make small overclock and set up a nice Linux distro and you're good to go. If you build this and put it next to your TV you should have a technically superior Shield TV as it can do anything a Shield TV can do and more.

I'm running Manjaro XFCE myself with the Dolphin from the Arch Extra's repository, which is only about a month behind on dev versions, that and having that m.2 nVME drive in there give's that near instant on experience. Cold boot takes about 4 seconds to login in screen and 2 more seconds to desktop after entering my password (could just use auto log in but I like a bit more security) plus about 2 more seconds to open Dolphin and populate my games list...
