N3 sounds are half gone

N3 sounds are half gone

by Michael Barlo » Mon, 11 Oct 1999 04:00:00

        I have the Sound BLaster Live card.  In N3 I can hear my car, my skids,
my spotter, and ect.. but I don't hear anything else.. None of the other
cars, other car sounds, ect..

        I heard that someone released a patch for the SB live.  I thought it
was the High gear site but there's no mention of it there and the
download link doesn't work.  So...  Anyone have any idea of what to do
in this case?

Try 8 bit sound with 7 cars heard.

I have SBLive value, and I don't have a problem with the sound in N3.
The patch you mentioned is really a set of sound files to replace
those that come originally with the game.  It should be at High Gear
site under some article about N3 soundpack.

Have you always have this problem with N3 and SBLive, or is this a
recent problem?  And are you using the 8bit or 16bit sound in the
game?  And are you using the latest driver for SBLive?  Which DirectX
version are you using now?  It could be a driver problem, if you
haven't updated your soundcard driver, or a problem with DirectSound.
Or it could be related to something else that I don't have a clue
about.

AMD K6-2/350
VD2 w/12 meg ram
Sb live

16 bit sound
DX 6.1 or 6.1a(?)

        I installed N3 twice already (uninstalled and rebooted...)  Both times
there was no sound other then my car.  I've been running GPL without any
sound problems.  I'll check for the newest SB live drivers just to be
sure but I think I updated about a month ago.  In any case, from day one
I have yet to hear another car or even my own car crashing.  I'll also
try installing N3 over top of the install I have there now to be sure
there aren't any files missing as well as trying 8 bit sound.

Thanks,
Mike
